1 What are hydrocarbons? Baseline (Aiming for 4): Describe the composition of crude oil. State a definition of a hydrocarbon. State a definition of an alkane. Further (Aiming for 6): Describe how to separate crude oil into fractions in a school laboratory. Classify a hydrocarbon as an alkane. State the names and describe the first four alkanes Challenge (Aiming for 8): Explain why fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into fractions. Apply a general formula to generate a molecular formula and a displayed formula for a straight-chain alkane. Classify and justify the classification of a chemical as an alkane.

3 Alkane Molecular formula Displayed formula Molecular model Methane ethane propane butane

4 Alkane Molecular formula Displayed formula Molecular model Methane ethane propane butane CH4 C2H6 C3H8 C4H8

5 Distillation of crude oil

6 Exam question Crude oil is a mixture of many saturated hydrocarbons. They can be separated into fractions by the process of fractional distillation.           State what is meant by: (i)      hydrocarbon (2) (ii)      saturated (1) (iii)     fraction (Total 4 marks)

7 Mark scheme (i) carbon and hydrogen only or compound of for 1 mark each 2 (ii) single bonds only or no double bonds etc or contains maximum number of hydrogen atoms for 1 mark 1 (iii) molecules of similar chain length similar boiling points limited range of boiling points etc any 1 for 1 mark [4]

8 Diesel oil is obtained from crude oil
Diesel oil is obtained from crude oil. It can be used as a fuel for car engines. The diagram below represents a compound found in diesel oil. (a)     What is the formula of this compound? (1) (b)     Each of the lines on the diagram above represents a covalent bond. What is a covalent bond? (2) (Total 3 marks)

9 Mark scheme (a) C16 H34 for 1 mark 1 (b) electron gains 1 mark
          but shared electrons gains 2 marks 2 [3]
