What is crude oil?A mixture of alkanesAn oily liquidA mixture of alcoholsA mixture of hydrocarbonsQuestion 9 of 22 Loading... 10. In the fractional distillation of crude oil, how does boiling point change as the chains get longer?IncreasesRemains constantBoiling point is independent of chain lengthDecreasesQuestion 10 of 22 Loading... 11. What is the molecular formula for ethane?C₂H₆C₃H₈C₄H₈C₂H₄Question 11 of 22 Loading... 12. Explain how crude oil is separated into fractionsCrude oil is separated by fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated and the oil evaporates. It then goes into the tower. As the vapours rise up the tower the temperature rises. Different sized fractions condense at different heights because they have different boiling points. Smaller molecules condense high up in the tower. Larger molecules condense low down in the tower. Then the fractions are collected.Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated and the oil evaporates. It then goes into the tower.

Describe how nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide contribute to acid rainNitrogen oxides created in hot car engines and sulfur dioxide released when fossil fuels are burned combine with water in lakes and seas to form acidic solutionsNitrogen oxides created in hot car engines and sulfur dioxide released when fossil fuels are burned combine with water in the atmosphere to form acidic particlesNitrogen oxides created in hot car engines and sulfur dioxide released when fossil fuels are burned combine with water in the atmosphere to form acidic solutionsNitrogen oxides created in hot car engines and sulfur dioxide released when fossil fuels are burned combine with each other to form acidic solutionsQuestion 13 of 22 Loading... 14. How does sulfur dioxide form in car engines?Petrol includes the impurity sulfur, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedAcid rain causes some sulfur impurities to get into the car engine, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedWhen the petrol combusts the sulfur dioxide impurities are left behindThe metals the car is made from contain some impurities of sulfur and when the engine heats up, some sulfur dioxide is formedQuestion 14 of 22 Loading... 15. What do each of the following state symbols represent: (s), (l), (g), (aq)(s) - solid. (l) - liquid. (g) - gas. (aq) - water(s) - solid. (l) - liquid. (g) - gas. (aq) - aqueous (in solution)(s) - solution. (l) - liquid. (g) - gas. (aq) - water(l) - solid. (g) - liquid. (s) - gas. (aq) - aqueous (in solution)Question 15 of 22 Loading... 16. Why is carbon dioxide, CO₂ harmful to the environment?It is very slightly coloured and blocks sunlight in the atmosphere if too much builds upIt competes with oxygen for uptake in plants preventing them from photosynthesisingIt is acidic and can change the pH of fresh and salt water when dissolvedIt is a greenhouse gas and may contribute to global warmingQuestion 16 of 22 Loading... 17.
