Starter

Suggest one use for each fuel:

• Natural gas• Petrol• Diesel• Kerosene• Heating oil

If you light a candle and put jar over it, what do you predict will happen? Can you explain this?

So, what are needed? What type of reaction is

this?Why do we burn things?

To describe the process of combustion.

Crude oil can be separated by fractional distillation. The oil is evaporated and the hydrocarbon chains of different lengths condense at different temperatures:

Fractions with low boiling

points condense at

the top

Fractions with high boiling

points condense at the bottom

To describe the process of combustion.

The apparatus below is used to test what is made when the hydrocarbon wax burns…

any hydrocarbon + oxygen water + carbon dioxide

Liquid collectedcan be tested withanhydrous cobalt chloridepaper (bluepink).

1. Complete combustion- With enough oxygen

2. Incomplete combustion- without enough oxygen

• Methane + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water

• CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O

• Methane + Oxygen -> Carbon Monoxide + Water

• 2CH4 + 3O2 -> 2CO + 4H2O
