Crude 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.

5
Petrol
  • 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.

8
Engines
  • 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.

11
Alternative 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.

13
Methanol
  • 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.

16
Nomenclature Structural formula
17
Nomenclature
  • Nomenclature means the way chemical compounds are
    given names.
  • These names are produced by a special system.

18
Naming 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.

20
Functional Groups
Functional Group Name of Group Homologous series
none Alkanes
Double bond Alkenes
Triple bond Alkynes
Hydroxyl Alkanols (Alcohols)
21
Functional Groups
Functional Group Name of Group Homologous series
Carbonyl Alkanals (Aldehydes)
Carbonyl Alkanones (Ketones)
Carboxylic Alkanoic acids
Amine Amines
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
  • 1 methyl cyclopentane

40
Isomers
  •  Isomers are compounds with the same molecular
    formula but different structural formulae
  • For example C4H10

41
Alcohols
  • 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
  • 3 methyl pentan-2-ol

43
Aldehydes
  • 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.

45
Ketones
  • 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

47
Alkanoic acids
  • The alkanoic acids form another homologous
    series.
  •  
  • Carboxylic acids are used in a variety of ways.

48
Alkanoic 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.

51
Esters
  • An ester can be identified the -oate
    ending to its name.
  • The ester group is

52
Esters
  • 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

62
Aromatic 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.

67
Benzene 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.

Reactions of Carbon Compounds
70
Saturated Hydrocarbons
  • Alkanes and cycloalkanes are saturated
    hydrocarbons.
  • Saturated hydrocarbons contain only carbon to
    carbon single covalent bonds.

71
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
  • The alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
  • Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain at least one
    carbon to carbon double covalent bond.

72
Addition 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
76
Halogenoalkanes
  • 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

78
Sometimes addition reactions can give two
different isomeric products.
CH2CH-CH3
CH2Cl-CH2-CH3
CH3-CHCl-CH3
79
Ethanol
  • 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

82
With hydrogen
83
With a halogen
84
With a halogen halide
85
The benzene ring resists any addition reactions.
Its delocalised electrons mean that its bonds do
not behave like the bonds in an unsaturated
compound
86
Alcohols
  • There are three types of alcohols
  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Tertiary

87
Primary Alcohols
  • Primary alcohols have at least two hydrogen atoms
    on the carbon atom carrying the OH group.

88
Secondary Alcohols
  • Secondary alcohols have one hydrogen atom on the
    carbon atom carrying the OH group.

89
Tertiary Alcohols
  • Tertiary alcohols have at no hydrogen atoms on
    the carbon atom carrying the OH group.

90
Oxidation 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

92
Oxidation 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.

    together by the reaction of the functional groups
    to make water.

100
Esters
  • Esters are formed by the condensation reaction
    between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
  • Uses of esters include flavourings, perfumes and
    solvents.

101
Esters
  • Esters can be recognised by the ester link shown
    below

102
  • The ester link is formed by the reaction of a
    hydroxyl group of an alkanol with a carboxyl
    group of a carboxylic acid.

103
  • The ester link is formed by the reaction of a
    hydroxyl group of an alkanol with a carboxyl
    group of a carboxylic acid.

Hydrolysis Reactions
  • In a hydrolysis reaction, a molecule is split up
    by adding the elements of water.

113
  • The carboxylic acid and the alcohol from which
    the ester are made can be obtained by hydrolysis.

114
  • The formation and hydrolysis of an ester is a
    reversible reaction.

115
Yields
  • If we write the equation for a reaction we can
    calculate what mass of product should be produced
    the theoretical yield.
  • When we carry out the experiment we can measure
    the mass of product produced the actual yield.

116
Percentage Yield
  • Percentage yield is the actual yield, expressed
    as a percentage of the theoretical yield.

Polymers
121
Addition Polymerisation
  • Many polymers are made from the small unsaturated
    molecules, produced by the cracking of oil.
  • They add to each other by opening up their carbon
    to carbon double bonds.
  • This process is called addition polymerisation.

122
  • Ethene is a starting material of major importance
    in the petrochemical industry especially for the
    manufacture of plastics.
  • It is formed by cracking the ethane from the gas
    fraction or the naphtha fraction from oil.
  • Propene can be formed by cracking the propane
    from the gas fraction or the naphtha fraction
    from oil.

123

    monomer.
  • MONOMER POLYMER
  •  ene poly(ene)
  • ethene poly(ethene)
  • propene poly(propene)
  • styrene poly(styrene)
  • chloroethene poly(chloroethene)

    polymer and work out its repeat unit and the
    monomer from which it was formed.
  • The repeat unit of an addition polymer is always
    only two carbon atoms long.

Condensation Polymers
  • Condensation reactions involve eliminating water
    when two molecules join.
  • Condensation polymers are made from monomers with
    two functional groups per molecule.

131
  • Normally there are two different monomers which
    alternate in the structure e.g.

and
132
  • The molecules join together, eliminating water as
    they do so.
  • Hydrogen comes from one molecule.
  • Hydroxide comes from the other molecule.
  • The molecules join where these groups have come
    off.

  • Polyesters are manufactured for use as textile
    fibres and resins.
  • Polyesters used for textile fibres have a linear
    structure.
  • Cured polyester resins have a three-dimensional
    structure. Cross linking between the polyester
    chains makes the structure much more rigid.

  • Nylon is a typical polyamide.
  • Nylon is a very important engineering plastic.
  • The strength of nylon is caused by hydrogen
    bonding between the polymer chains.

161
Synthesis gas
  • Synthesis gas can be obtained by steam reforming
    of methane from natural gas.
  • CH4 H2O ? CO 3H2
  • It can also be made by the steam reforming of
    coal.

162
  • Methanol, used in the production of methanal, is
    made industrially from synthesis gas.
  • Methanal is an important feedstock in the
    manufacture of thermosetting plastics.
  • It is used to assist cross-linking so as to make
    thermosetting plastics and resins.

163
New polymers
  • Kevlar is an aromatic polyamide which is
    extremely strong because of the way in which the
    rigid, linear molecules are packed together.
  • These molecules are held together by hydrogen
    bonds.
  • Kevlar has many important uses.

164
  • Poly(ethenol) is a plastic which readily
    dissolves in water. It has many important uses
  • It is made from another plastic by a process
    known as ester exchange.
  • The percentage of acid groups which have been
    removed in the production process affects the
    strengths of the intermolecular forces upon which
    the solubility depends.

165
  • Poly(ethyne) can be treated to make a polymer
    which conducts electricity.
  • The conductivity depends on delocalised electrons
    along the polymer chain.
  • Poly(vinyl carbazole) is a polymer which exhibits
    photoconductivity and is used in photocopiers.

166
  • Biopol is an example of a biodegradable polymer.
  • The structure of low density polythene can be
    modified during manufacture to produce a
    photodegradable polymer.

Natural Products
169
Fats 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.

171
Saturated fats
have more regular shapes than unsaturated oils
172
Fat molecules close pack together easily and
have a low melting point
173
Oil molecules do not close pack together so
easily and have a high melting point
174
Oils can be converted into hardened fats by
adding of hydrogen.

176
Fatty 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

179
Three fatty acids form esters with the three
OH groups of glycerol.
180
Three fatty acids form esters with the three

  • 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.

183
Proteins
  • 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.

184
Amino 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.

186
The peptide link
  • The peptide link is formed when an acid and amine
    join together. (We have previously called this
    the amide link.)

187
The peptide link
  • The peptide link is formed when an acid and amine
    join together. (We have previously called this
    the amide link.)

Building 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.

193
Digestion
  • 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.

Hydrolysis
  • 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.

199
Types 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.

201
Enzymes
  • 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.
