A7
At room temperature, 25 C, how many alkanes (C1 C14) are gases? ? 4, methane, ethane, propane and butane At 25 C, how many are liquids? 9, pentane through tetradecane, (C14H30) Solids? Zero Alkanes from C18H40 on up (C19, C20, C21 ) all have melting points above 25 C. Therefore they are solids at room temperature. Note: for the alkanes C11 C19, the following prefixes are used.
uni = 1, do (or di) = 2, tri = 3, tetra = 4, penta = 5, hexa = 6, hepta = 7, octa = 8, nona = 9. Example: C17H36 = heptadecane

A8
C13H28? tridecane C18H38? octadecane Rule: For alkanes 11-19, add the prefix, when that number is added to 10, equals the number of carbons in the backbone of the alkane in question. The names run together, as in heptadecane, C17H36. You should be able to write the correct names for the normal alkanes, C1 C19.

Compounds that have the same molecular formulas but different structural formulas.
21
Q 12
Referring to the structural isomers of C5H12, As branching increases what happens to the boiling points of these isomers?
22
A 12
As the branching increases, the boiling points decrease. That is because the longer molecules can interact with each other and stick together a little tighter than can their branched, more compact structural isomers. These branched forms have less surface area to stick to each other. Therefore the branched forms boil at a lower temperature than do their linear isomers.

They were formed from microscopic phytoplankton and zooplankton in ancient marine and freshwater environments.
33
Q 18
34
A 18
Petroleum and NG form under anoxic conditions (lack of oxygen) when dead plankton drift to the ocean bottom (benthos) and are covered by sediments. The organic molecules are deprived of oxygen (anoxic). Over time these organic compounds are gradually converted to alkanes. Pressures and temperatures are high.

Q 19
36
A 19 Sugar, under high pressure and temperature, anoxically decomposes to carbon dioxide and methane. Sugar carbon dioxide and methane Energy + C6H12O6 CO2 + CH4 Balanced: Energy + C6H12O6 3 CO2 + 3 CH4 This is an endothermic process (energy input required)
37
Q 20
What does the preponderance of evidence suggest concerning the consumption of petroleum?
38
A 20
The preponderance of evidence suggests that the worlds consumption of petroleum and natural gas is out pacing its natural rate of production. In other words we are rapidly running out of these resources.

Q 22
Which areas of the worlds oceans have the lowest photosynthetic rates?
42
A 22
With a few exceptions, the lowest rate areas are located in the open tropical oceans of both the northern and southern hemispheres.
43
Q 24
Petroleum is formed in an _________of favorable temperature and pressure in the sedimentary rock below the oil deposit.
44
A 24
Petroleum is formed in an oil window of favorable temperature and pressure in the sedimentary rock below the oil deposit.
45
Q 25
46
A 25
Petroleum is a complex mixture of alkanes, cycloalkanes, unsaturated hydrocarbons, as well as other carbon compounds. These deposits will often contain (1) an upper layer of gases,(2) a middle layer of liquid/solid materials (mostly organic compounds) with (3) a lower layer of saline water.
47
Q 26
48
A 26
(1) Fractional distillation: Relies on differences in boiling points to separate compounds from the petroleum mixture (2) Hydrocarbon Cracking: Using energy and catalysts, large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules. (3) Organic synthesis: Special products called petroleum derivatives are produced using specific chemical processes.

Octane Rating is a measure of the autoignition properties of a fuel in a spark ignition internal combustion engine. In other words, the fuels anti-knock characteristics.
54
Q 30
Fuels are compared to 2,2,4-trimethyl pentane (iso-octane) ____octane and nheptane ____ octane What is compared? The anti-knock characteristics of the fuel. If a fuel performs as does a mixture of 90% 2,2,4 trimethylpentane (iso-octane) and 10% n-heptane, then the fuel is rated as _____ and so on.
55
A 30
Fuels are compared to 2,2,4-trimethyl pentane (iso-octane) 100 octane and nheptane zero octane What is compared? The anti-knock characteristics of the fuel. If a fuel performs as does a mixture of 90% 2,2,4 trimethylpentane (iso-octane) and 10% n-heptane, then the fuel is rated as 90 octane and so on.

Q 35
Explain how the arctic tundra system is being changed by global warming.
65
A 35
The Arctic is expected to experience the greatest rates of warming compared with other world regions As permafrost melts, methane and CO2 are released from the frozen soil. Methane is a greenhouse gas (25 times more potent than CO2) The permafrost system seems to be in a positive feedback mode (higher temperatures increase the melting and release of more 66 GHGs higher temperatures and so on)

Q 38
Describe the molecular structures of soaps and detergents. How are they similar? Different?
71
A 38
Both soaps and detergents have long-tails of nonpolar alkane-like hydrocarbons. These tails dissolve into the oil.
Nonpolar alkane-like tail
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OSO3-1 Na+1
Polar head
The polar heads,CH2OSO3-1 Na+1, of detergents, are different in that soaps contain carbon instead of sulfur. Both act similarly in that the polar heads dissolve into the water. This action reduces the oil to micro- droplets which easily disperse.

77
A 41
How is ethene different from ethane? Ethene contains a very chemically active double bond. This bond can be broken readily and functional groups can be added to the molecule. This difference allows ethene to be readily converted to ethanol using water and a catalyst.
