Vapour phase cracking
Vapour phase cracking
A process that breaks down larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more volatile ones, typically used to produce gasoline from kerosene or gas oil.
Octane number
Octane number
A measure of a gasoline's resistance to knocking (premature detonation) in an engine. Higher octane numbers mean better performance and less knocking.

Study Notes
Hydrocarbons
- Organic compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen
- Two types: Aliphatic and Aromatic
- Organic compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons.
Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
- Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes
- Sources: Mineral oil (crude oil), petroleum
- Petroleum is a dark, oily liquid found underground, often floating on saltwater.
- Composition:
- Alkanes: 30-70%; up to 40 carbon atoms, mostly straight chains and some branched chain isomers.
- Cycloalkanes: 16-64%; cyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, etc.
- Aromatic hydrocarbons (Arenes), 8-15%: Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, Naphthalene, etc.
- Sulphur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds: Sulphur compounds (mercaptans and sulphides), nitrogen compounds (pyridines, quinolines, and pyrroles), oxygen compounds (alcohols, phenols, and resins).
- Natural Gas: Methane (80%), Ethane (13%), Propane (3%), Butane (1%), low-boiling pentanes and hexanes (0.5%), Nitrogen (1.3%)
- Used as cooking gas (LPG)
- Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Highly compressed natural gas
- Main component is methane.
- Theories of Origin: Mendeleev's carbide theory, Engler's organic theory, Modern theory
- Mining: Petroleum is mined at depths ranging from 500 to 15,000 feet by artificial drilling.
- Refining: Separation of useful fractions by fractional distillation.
- Fractions and Uses: Varying boiling points yield different fractions with specific uses (e.g., fuels, lubricants, etc.).
- Purification: Various treatments like using sulphuric acid to remove aromatic compounds, doctor sweetening process (remove sulphur compounds), and using adsorbents (like alumina, silica or clay).
- Artificial Petrol/Gasoline Manufacture: Methods like cracking and synthesis are used in artificial petrol/gasoline manufacture.
Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Arenes)
- Benzene, Toluene, Xylenes, etc.
General Methods of Preparation
- Alkanes:
- Reaction of alkyl halides with sodium in an aprotic solvent; Wurtz reaction
- From carboxylic acids: Decarboxylation reaction (Duma reaction)
- From Grignard reagents
- Alkenes:
- From alkyl halides: Dehydrohalogenation reactions (e.g., using alcoholic KOH)
- From alcohols: Dehydration reactions (e.g., using concentrated H2SO4)
- From esters: pyrolysis (heating) of esters
- Alkynes
- From dihalides
- From hydrocarbons: By Catalytic Hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes.
- From metal acetylide
Properties and Uses of hydrocarbons
- Physical properties: State (gas, liquid, solid), boiling point, melting point, density, solubility
- Chemical properties: Combustion (reaction with oxygen), Substitution, Oxidation, Addition
- Substitution reactions: Halogenation, Nitration, Sulphonation, Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation
- Addition reactions: Reaction with hydrogen, halogen, hydrogen halides, water and other reagents.
- Other properties:
- Isomerisation: Changing a straight-chain alkane to a branched-chain alkane.
- Aromatisation: Converting a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon molecule into an aromatic hydrocarbon.
- Specific Uses: Fuel, solvents, feedstock for various industrial processes.
- Different types of Hydrocarbons have different properties and uses. Their characteristics can be distinguished by different chemical tests.
Important Numerical Values (For Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes)
- Bond lengths, bond energies: Vary depending on the type of hydrocarbon
Degree of Unsaturation
- Calculations for hydrocarbons to determine if there are multiple bonds or rings
