The fractions of hydrocarbons in
petroleum are separated at
different temperatures according
to the size of the hydrocarbons.
Long chain hydrocarbons are
cracked into smaller molecules at
a high temperature using a
catalyst.

Aim:To study the fractional distillation of petroleum
Materials:Petroleum and cotton
Apparatus: Filter paper, retort stand, thermometer (0°C−360°C), round bottom flask,
conical flask, test tube, Liebig condenser,
wire gauze, tripod stand, test tubes,
evaporating dish, porcelain chips,
wooden block and Bunsen burner.
EXPERIMENT : FractionalDistillation of Petroleum
Procedure:
1. Measure 50 cm3 of petroleum and pour into a round bottom flask.
2. Add one spatula of porcelain chips into the round bottom flask.
3. Set up the apparatus as shown in Figure.
4. Gently heat the petroleum and collect four fractions of petroleum into four separate
test tubes at a temperature range of 30 °C − 80 °C, 80 °C − 120 °C, 120 °C − 160 °C
and 160 °C − 200 °C.
5. Observe each fraction of petroleum collected at different temperatures and record
the colour and their viscosity.
6. Place some cotton into an evaporating dish.
7. Put a few drops of the petroleum fraction collected in the test tube onto the cotton
in the evaporating dish.
8. Ignite the cotton and observe the colour of the flame and the quantity of soot by
placing filter paper above the flame.
9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for petroleum fractions collected in test tubes 2, 3 and 4.
10. Record your observations in the table below.

EXPERIMENT : FractionalDistillation of Petroleum
Discussion
1. Why are porcelain chips added into the round bottom flask?
Answer:-
Some porcelain chips are used for uniform heating of petroleum and to avoid bumping
of the liquid due to uneven heating.
2. Why is a normal thermometer not used in this activity?
Answer:-
The boiling points of petroleum fractions are in the range of 30̊C -200̊C. The maximum
temperature that a normal thermometer can record is 110̊C. Thus petroleum fractions
which have a boiling point exceeding 110̊C can not be separated.
Discussion
3. State the relation between the boiling point of the fraction of petroleum and the
following:
(a) its colour,
(b) its viscosity, and
(c) quantity of soot formed after burning.
Answer:-
a) The higher the boiling point, the darker the colorof the fractions
b) The higher the boiling point, the higher the viscosity of the fractions
c) The higher the boiling point, the higher the quantity of soot formed after combustion
4. Which fraction of petroleum is most flammable?
Answer:-
Fraction 1
Alternative energy sources
other than nonrenewable
fossil fuels
Biodiesel Bioethanol
Biogas
Biomass
Organic matter of plants and
animals. It contains latent
energy derived from the sun.

6 Alkanes undergo incomplete combustion
when there is not enough or limited supply of
O
2
Incomplete combustion of alkanes
produces carbon particles, C (soot),
carbon monoxide gas, CO (poisonous) and
water, H
2O
Example incomplete combustion of
methane:
2CH
4(g) + 3O
2(g) 2CO(g) + 4H
2O(l)
CH
4(g) + O
2(g) C(s) + 2H
2O
The combustion of alkanes release large
amounts of heat.
The combustion of alkanes with more
number of C atoms will produce more soot
Alkanes undergo substitution reaction with halogens such as chlorine,
Cl
2and bromine, Br
2under sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) rays
Substitution reaction occurs when each hydrogen atom, H in an alkane molecule is
substituted one by one with halogen atoms, until all the hydrogen atoms, H have
been substituted
Sunlight or UV rays are needed to break the covalent bonds in the
halogen molecules, such as chlorine, Cl
2to produce chlorine atoms, Cl
Alkenes burn completely in excess oxygen, O

releasing carbon dioxide, CO
2and water, H

2
Incomplete combustion of alkenes
produces carbon particles, C (soot),
carbon monoxide gas, CO (poisonous) and
water, H
2O
The combustion of alkenes produces a
flame with more soot compared to
their corresponding alkanes
This is because alkenes have a higher
percentage of carbon by mass
compared to alkanes
Addition reaction occurs when another atom is added to each
carbon atom, C at the double bond –C = C –to form a single
covalent bond –C –C –.
Five addition reactions that occur on alkenes:
1. Addition of hydrogen (Hydrogenation).
2. Addition of halogen (Halogenation).
3. Addition of halogen halide.
4. Addition of water (Hydration).
5. Oxidation with acidified potassium manganate(VII), KMnO

solution.
1. Addition of Hydrogen (Hydrogenation)
•Alkenes react with hydrogen at a temperature of 180 °C in the presence of nickel
/platinum as a catalyst to produce the corresponding alkanes.

Small alkene molecules undergo
addition reaction with one another to
form long chain molecules
Alkene molecules link together to form a
long chain of molecules called polymer
while the smaller alkenes are the basic
units called monomer
The reaction of alkene monomers to
form polymers is called addition
polymerisation

Answer:-
Acidic solution of potassium manganate (VII) and bromine
Hexane does not decolorize the brown colour of the bromine water but the hexane
decolorizes the brown bromine water.
Hexane does not decolorize the purple colour of acidic potassium manganate (VII)
solution but hexene decolorize the purple colour of acidic potassium manganate (VII)
solution
Discussion
Answer:-
Hexane is a saturated hydrocarbon that contains a single covalent bond between
carbon atoms. The addition reaction does not occur when an acidic solution of
potassium manganate (VII) is added.
Hexene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains a double double covalent
bond between carbon atoms, -C = C-. The addition reaction occurs when an
acidic solution of potassium manganate (VII) is produced to produce hexanadiol.

Alkene burns a sootier flame
compared to alkane because
the percentage of carbon by
mass per molecule in alkene
is higher than alkane
Alkenes react with bromine
water and acidified KMnO
4
solution while alkanes do not
show any changes with these
two reagents
The soot formed is carbon.
The greater the number of
carbon atoms per molecule,
the higher the percentage of
carbon by mass per molecule
and the more soot is
produced by the flame
Alkenes are more reactive
than alkanes due to the
presence of double bonds in
alkene molecules. Addition
reaction occur in alkenes but
does not occur in alkanes

Chemical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids can be produced from the oxidation of alcohol.
Ethanoic acid, CH
3COOH is produced when ethanol, C
2H
5OH is
oxidised by an oxidising agent through the reflux method.
Reflux method is to ensure that
ethanol reacts completely with the
oxidising agent.
A Liebig condenser that is fitted
upright into a round-bottom flask will
condense ethanol vapour to liquid
ethanol.
Liquid ethanol flows back into the
round-bottom flask to react
completely with the oxidising agent
