4Crude oil
- Crude oil is a source of many fuels.
- It is also the principal feedstock for the
manufacture of petroleum-based consumer products
because these are compounds of carbon. -
5Petrol
- Petrol can be produced by the reforming of
naphtha. - Reforming alters the arrangement of atoms in
molecules without necessarily changing the number
of carbon atoms per molecule. -
6- As a result of the reforming process, petrol
contains branched-chain alkanes, cycloalkanes and
aromatic hydrocarbons as well as straight-chain
alkanes.
7- Any petrol is a blend of hydrocarbons which boil
at different temperatures. - A winter blend of petrol is different from a
summer blend. In winter butane is added to
petrol so that it will catch fire more easily.
8Engines
- In a petrol engine, the petrol-air mixture is
ignited by a spark. - Knocking is caused by auto-ignition.
- Auto-ignition is when the petrol-air mix ignites
too soon due to the heat from the engine. This
makes the engine perform badly. - Knocking is when the engine shakes and shudders.
9- The tendency of alkanes to auto-ignite used to be
reduced by the addition of lead compounds. - Unfortunately the lead compounds cause serious
environmental problems.
10- Unleaded petrol uses components which have a high
degree of molecular branching and/or aromatics
and/or cycloalkanes to improve the efficiency of
burning.
11Alternative fuels
- Fossil fuels are going to run out in the future.
- Fuels used produce carbon dioxide, which
increases the greenhouse effect. - We need other fuels which are renewable and
non-polluting.
12- Sugar cane is a renewable source of ethanol for
mixing with petrol. - Some biological materials,(i.e. manure and straw)
under anaerobic conditions, ferment to produce
methane (biogas). - Methanol is an alternative fuel to petrol, but it
has certain disadvantages, as well as advantages.
13Methanol
- Almost complete combustion
- No carcinogens
- Cheaper than petrol
- Less explosive than petrol
- Little modification to car engine
- Difficult to mix with petrol
- Very corrosive
- Toxic
- Larger fuel tanks needed.
14- Hydrogen could well be the fuel of the future.
- If water can be electrolysed, using a renewable
energy source, such as solar power, hydrogen will
be obtained. - The hydrogen will burn, producing water, and so
will be pollution-free. - The problem with hydrogen is storing the gas in
large enough quantities.

16Nomenclature Structural formula
17Nomenclature
- Nomenclature means the way chemical compounds are
given names. - These names are produced by a special system.
18Naming organic compounds
- All organic compounds belong to families called
homologous series. - A homologous series is a set of compounds with
the same general formula, similar chemical
properties and graded physical properties.
19- Most homologous series have a special functional
group. - A functional group is a reactive group of atoms
which are attached to the carbon chain. - The functional group is the part of the molecule
where most reactions take place.
20Functional Groups
Functional Group Name of Group Homologous series

22- The first part of the compounds name is decided
by the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. - The second part of the name is decided by the
homologous series to which the compound belongs.

26- This method works well for straight-chain
hydrocarbons. - Here is an example hexane
27- We have to add rules to help deal with branched
chains.
28- First draw out the full structure.
29- Number the atoms in the longest continuous carbon
chain. - Start at the end nearer most groups.
30- This now gives us the basic name in this case
hexane.
31- You must now identify any side chains.
- -CH3 is methyl
- -CH2CH3 is ethyl
32- Now identify and count the number and type of
side chain. - di - shows 2
- tri shows 3
- tetra shows 4
- Label the carbon atom(s) they join
33- This now gives us the full name
- 2,2,4 trimethylhexane.
34- Naming other homologous series works in the same
way. - With those we start numbering at the end nearer
the functional group e.g. this alkene
35- Number the atoms in the longest carbon chain.
36- This now gives us the basic name in this case
hex-2-ene.
37- Identifying the side chains gives us the full
name - 5,5 dimethy 4 ethyl hex-2-ene.
38- We can use the same principles with cyclic
hydrocarbons.
39 40Isomers
- Isomers are compounds with the same molecular
formula but different structural formulae - For example C4H10
41Alcohols
- The alcohols form another homologous series
called the alkanols. - We can recognise the alkanols because they
contain an OH group. - They are given names as if they are substituted
alkanes.
42 43Aldehydes
- The aldehydes form another homologous series
called the alkanals. - We can recognise the alkanals because they
contain a carbonyl group at the end of the carbon
chain. - They are named as if they are substituted alkanes.
44- 3,4 dimethyl pentanal
- We dont need to number the carbonyl group
because it must be on the first carbon.
45Ketones
- The ketones form another homologous series
called the alkanones. - We can recognise the alkanones because they
contain a carbonyl group in the middle of the
carbon chain. - They are named as if they are substituted alkanes.
46- 3,3 dimethyl pentan-2-one
47Alkanoic acids
- The alkanoic acids form another homologous
series. -
- Carboxylic acids are used in a variety of ways.
48Alkanoic acids
- We can recognise the alkanoic acids because they
contain a COOH group.
49- We can name the alkanoic acids using the
principles we have used before.
50- 4 methyl hexanoic acid
- We dont need to number the acid group because it
must be on the first carbon.
51Esters
- An ester can be identified the -oate
ending to its name. - The ester group is
52Esters
- An ester can be named given the names of the
parent alkanol and alkanoic acid. - The name also tells us the alkanoic acid and
alkanol that are made when the ester is broken
down.

58- A typical ester is shown below.
59- We can identify the part that came from the
alkanoic acid propanoic acid.
60- We can identify the part that came from the
alkanol - ethanol
61- This gives us the name
- ethyl propanoate
62Aromatic Hydrocarbons
- Benzene is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon.
- It has the formula C6H6.
- The benzene molecule has a ring structure.
63- Even though benzene would seem to be unsaturated
it does not decolourise bromine water. - All the bonds in benzene are equivalent to each
other it does not have the usual kind of single
and double bonds.
64(No Transcript)
65- The bonds in benzene are intermediate between
single and double bonds. - Their lengths and bond energies are in between
those of single and double bonds.
66- The stability of the benzene ring is due to the
delocalisation of electrons. - A benzene ring in which one hydrogen atom has
been substituted by another group is known as the
phenyl group. - The phenyl group has the formula -C6H5.
67Benzene and its related compounds are important
as feedstocks. One or more hydrogen atoms of a
benzene molecule can be substituted to form a
range of consumer products.

69Reactions of Carbon Compounds
70Saturated Hydrocarbons
- Alkanes and cycloalkanes are saturated
hydrocarbons. - Saturated hydrocarbons contain only carbon to
carbon single covalent bonds.
71Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
- The alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain at least one
carbon to carbon double covalent bond.
72Addition Reactions
- Addition reactions take place when atoms, or
groups of atoms, add across a carbon to carbon
double bond or carbon to carbon triple bond.
73- For alkenes the basic reaction is
74- When bromine adds to an alkene we have an
addition reaction. - C4H8 Br2 ? C4H8 Br2
75- The addition reaction between hydrogen chlkoride
and an alkene gives the equivalent alkyl
chloride. - C3H6 HCl ? C3H7Cl
propene hydrogen chloride ? propyl chloride
76Halogenoalkanes
- Halogenoalkanes have properties which make them
useful in a variety of consumer products. - In the atmosphere, ozone, O3, forms a protective
layer which absorbs ultraviolet radiation from
the sun. - The depletion of the ozone layer is believed to
have been caused by the extensive use of certain
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
77- The addition reaction between water and an alkene
gives the equivalent alkanol. - propene water ? propanol
- C3H6 H2O ? C3H7OH
78Sometimes addition reactions can give two
different isomeric products.
CH2CH-CH3
CH2Cl-CH2-CH3
CH3-CHCl-CH3
79Ethanol
- To meet market demand ethanol is made by means
other than fermentation. - Industrial ethanol is manufactured by the
catalytic hydration of ethene.
80- Ethanol can be converted to ethene by
dehydration. - This reaction uses aluminium oxide or
concentrated sulphuric acid as a catalyst.
81- For alkynes the reaction takes place in two
stages
82With hydrogen
83With a halogen
84With a halogen halide
85The benzene ring resists any addition reactions.
Its delocalised electrons mean that its bonds do
not behave like the bonds in an unsaturated
compound
86Alcohols
- There are three types of alcohols
- Primary
- Secondary
- Tertiary
87Primary Alcohols
- Primary alcohols have at least two hydrogen atoms
on the carbon atom carrying the OH group.
88Secondary Alcohols
- Secondary alcohols have one hydrogen atom on the
carbon atom carrying the OH group.
89Tertiary Alcohols
- Tertiary alcohols have at no hydrogen atoms on
the carbon atom carrying the OH group.
90Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation and reduction can be described in terms
of loss or gain of electrons. - In organic chemistry it is more useful to
describe them differently.
91- Oxidation is an increase in the oxygen to
hydrogen ratio e.g. - CH3CH2OH ? CH3CHO
- 16 14
- Reduction is a decrease in the oxygen to
hydrogen ratio. - CH3CO2H ? CH3CH2OH
- 24 16
92Oxidation Reactions
- The simplest oxidation reaction of alcohols is
when they are burned in oxygen, giving carbon
dioxide and water. - Some alcohols can be oxidised to give aldehydes
and ketones.
93- Primary alcohols can be oxidised in two stages
first to an aldehyde
Primary alcohol ? Aldehyde
94- Primary alcohols can be oxidised in two stages
first to an aldehyde and then to an alkanoic acid.
Primary alcohol ? Aldehyde
Aldehyde ? Alkanoic
Acid
95- Secondary alcohols can be oxidised only once to
a ketone
Secondary alcohol ? Ketone
No further oxidation is possible
96- Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidised at all.
No oxidation is possible
97- Aldehydes can be oxidised to give carboxylic
(alkanoic) acids while ketones cannot. - This can be used as a means of differentiating
between aldehydes and ketones. - The oxidising agents that are used most often
give visible signs of reaction.
98Reagent Visible effect
Acidified permanganate Purple ? colourless
Acidified dichromate Orange ? green
Copper oxide Black ? brown
Tollens Reagent Silver mirror produced
Fehlings solution Blue ? red
Benedicts solution Blue ? red

169Fats and Oils
- Natural fats and oils can be classified according
to where they come from - Animal
- Vegetable
- Marine
170- Fats and oils in the diet supply the body with
energy. - They are a more concentrated source of energy
than carbohydrates. - Oils are liquids and fats are solids.
- Oils have lower melting points than fats.
- This is because oil molecules have a greater
degree of unsaturation.
171Saturated fats
have more regular shapes than unsaturated oils
172Fat molecules close pack together easily and
have a low melting point
173Oil molecules do not close pack together so
easily and have a high melting point

176Fatty acids
- Fatty acids are straight chain carboxylic acids,
containing even numbers of carbon atoms from C4
to C24, primarily C16 and C18. - Fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated.
177- Fats and oils are esters.
- They are made from the triol glycerol
(propan-1,2,3-triol)
and fatty acids.
178- Fats and oils are esters.
- They are made from the triol glycerol
(propan-1,2,3-triol)

179Three fatty acids form esters with the three
OH groups of glycerol.
180Three fatty acids form esters with the three
OH groups of glycerol.
181- The hydrolysis of fats and oils produces fatty
acids and glycerol in the ratio of three moles of
fatty acid to one mole of glycerol.
182Fats and oils
- Fats and oils consist largely of mixtures of
triglycerides. - The three fatty acid molecules combined with each
molecule of glycerol need not be the same. - Soaps are produced by the hydrolysis of fats and
oils.
183Proteins
- Nitrogen is needed to make protein in plants and
animals. - Proteins are condensation polymers made up of
many amino acid molecules linked together. - The structure of the protein is based on the
constituent amino acids.
184Amino acids
- These are compounds which contain an amine group
and an acid group.
185- There are about 25 essential amino acids.
- They are different because they have different
side groups shown by R. - Condensation of amino acids produces the peptide
(amide) link.
186The peptide link
- The peptide link is formed when an acid and amine
join together. (We have previously called this
the amide link.)
187The peptide link

192Building proteins
- Proteins specific to the bodys needs are built
up within the body. - The body cannot make all the amino acids required
for body. - We need protein in our diet to supply certain
amino acids known as essential amino acids.
193Digestion
- During digestion enzymes hydrolyse the proteins
in our diet to produce amino acids. - The body then builds up the amino acids it needs
from those amino acids.

198Hydrolysis
- The structural formulae of amino acids obtained
from the hydrolysis of proteins can be identified
from the structure of a section of the protein as
shown in the last few slides.
199Types of proteins
- Proteins can be classified as fibrous or
globular. - Fibrous proteins are long and thin and are the
major structural materials of animal tissue
muscles, tissues etc.
200- Globular proteins have the spiral chains folded
into compact units. - Globular proteins are involved in the maintenance
and regulation of life processes and include
enzymes and many hormones, eg insulin and
haemoglobin.
201Enzymes
- Enzymes, such as amylase, are biological
catalysts - An enzyme will work most efficiently within very
specific conditions of temperature and pH. - The further conditions are removed from the ideal
the less efficiently the enzyme will perform.
202- What an enzyme can do is related to its molecular
shape. - Denaturing of a protein involves physical
alteration of the molecules as a result of
temperature change or pH change. - The ease with which a protein is denatured is
related to the fact that enzymes are very
sensitive to changes in temperature and pH.
