Burning a Hydrocarbon Fuel
Think!
1.What two elements are in all
hydrocarbons?
2. How can you prove this?
Now paste in appendix and 2.1b and 2.1c
Distillation
Starter ;
1. What do we use distillation for?
2. Think – do you think bigger molecules
boil off first or last (Clue – do they have a
higher boiling point)
3. Read page 6 & 7 and answer qu1-3
Crude Oil
• Crude oil is a mixture of different hydrocarbons
called fractions.
• Crude oil is a source of many carbon based
products including fuels like petrol, diesel,
candle wax and lubricating oil as well as
different chemicals used to make many other
products
• These mixtures/fractions can be separated using
a process called Fractional Distillation
Fractional Distillation
To do:
1. Complete the true/false Fractional
distillation exercise
2. Fuels and Pollution

Pollution’ – fill it with as many pollution
issues associated with burning fuels.
(10mins)
Combustion – a Summary
•
•
•
•
A fuel is a substance that burns in O2 to produce energy
Combustion is another name for burning
Oxygen gas is needed for burning to take place
A reaction which gives out energy is called an EXOTHERMIC
reaction
• All combustion reactions (burning) are exothermic
• Most fuels are made from compounds containing carbon and
hydrogen (Hydrocarbons)
• Two types of Combustion – complete and incomplete
• Examples of fuels are petrol, coal, natural gas (methane), wood,
kerosene, paraffin and diesel – what are these used for?
• By blowing on a fire we increase the oxygen concentration – so it
burns with a hotter flame!
Now answer Qu1-8 on page 2 and complete appendix 2.1a
Research Task: Alternative Fuels
We know that petrol and diesel are fuels that are burned to produce energy.
Qu. What is the global environmental problem
associated with burning fossil fuels like petrol and diesel?
Qu. What will eventually happen to these fossil fuels?
So what will we use to produce the energy we need to power our cars,
heat our homes, supply us with electricity??
– can you suggest any alternatives?
Research Task: Using available textbooks or the internet research the
following 3 alternative fuels; ethanol, hydrogen and biogas.
Success criteria; You must write about each alternative fuel detailing
i)how it is made
ii) where it is used
iii) advantages and disadvantages both in terms of being a fuel and
the environment
What are Hydrocarbons?
• A hydrocarbon is a molecule which
contains only the elements Carbon and
Hydrogen.
• Hydrocarbons are obtained from the
Fractional Distillation of crude oil.
• We use them for fuels in cars (octane) and
in cookers (methane).
• Hydrocarbons exist as different ‘families’
Hydrocarbons – Homologous Series
• Definition:Homologous
Series
– a group of chemically similar compounds which can
be represented by a general formula.
– Physical properties change gradually through the
series
Now paste in

Alkanes General formula
The following hydrocarbons are members of a different
homologous series;
•
For every carbon there is 2 x hydrogen minus 2 (e.g. ethyne = 2
carbons and 2 hydrogens, butyne is 4 carbons and 6 hydrogens)
Their general formula is CnH2n-2
Using this as a guide – work out the general fromula for the alkanes.
The number of Hydrogen atoms = 2 times the number
of Carbon atoms
plus 2
General Formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2
Properties of Alkanes
• Alkanes have single carbon to carbon
bonds. This makes them saturated.
• The general formula for alkanes is;
CnH2n+2
• The boiling points of alkanes increase as
they get bigger
Energy from Fuels
• A fuel is a substance that burns in oxygen
to produce energy.
• Different types of fuels provide different
quantities of energy.
• We can measure the energy produced by
a fuel when it burns experimentally.
Measuring the Energy from Fuels
Alcohols can be burned to produce energy and are
regularly used in combination with other fuels to produce
energy.
E.g. In Brazil alcohols can be mixed with
petrol and be used in cars!
Experiment: Calculating the Energy Released from Fuels.
The combustion of alcohols is exothermic and in this
experiment the energy released from burning a known
mass of alcohol is used to heat a known amount of water.
From measurements taken, the quantity of energy
transferred to the water can be calculated.
Now collect and paste in the Experiment handouts.
Outcome 1: Fuels Investigation
General Aim: Investigate how the number of carbon atoms
in a fuel affect the energy it will produce.
Using the equipment and chemicals listed on the
sheet;
Plan in your groups a fair investigation method to
determine how varying the number of carbons in an alcohol
affect the energy released per gram of fuel.
(Remember to identify what you will change each time(your
independent variable) and what you will measure each time
(your dependent variable)
Check you plan with your teacher.
Variables in Investigations
• An independent variable is the factor you
change in each experiment in an investigation
• All other variables should be kept the same
• A dependent variable is the variable being
tested/measured in a scientific experiment.
Note:
The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the
independent variable. As the experimenter
changes the independent variable, the change in
the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

7. Your conclusion (what you found out – must mention
results and link to the aim)
8. An evaluation (Comment on how well you felt exp. Went
and how you can improve your investigation)
Alkenes
• The Alkenes are a family of hydrocarbons
and all share the same chemical
properties:
– They contain a double Carbon to carbon
bonds ( - C = C - )
– All end in -‘ene’
– Are unsaturated hydrocarbons (due to c=c
double bond)
– All share a General Formula
Now paste in appendix 2.3 and 2.3a
Alkenes
Ethane
Ethene
Butane
Butene
A double bond means that alkenes can join with other
molecules. This make them REACTIVE. We can tell the
difference between alkenes and alkanes because alkenes
decolourise bromine water but alkanes don’t.
ALKENES
ALKANES
Alkenes are different to alkanes; they are unsaturated.

Alkanols (Alcohols)
Definition:
• The alkanol family (sometimes known as alcohols) is a
group of carbon compounds which contain an –OH
(hydroxyl) group. When attached to the molecule this is
known as a functional group.
• The alkanol ethanol, is used in drinks. However, many
(alkanols) alcohols are used as fuels.
• The name of all alkanols is very similar to the alkanes,
as are their structures:
E.g. Methanol:
E.g. Butan-1-ol:
