Doc Brown's GCSE/IGCSE KS4 science-CHEMISTRY Revision Notes

INDEX of pages on Oil, its many useful products, environmental problems and an introduction to organic chemistry

KS4 Science GCSE/IGCSE/O level Chemistry

Index of Oil & Organic Chemistry Pages

The 17 sections include an introduction to fossil Fuels e.g. coal, oil and natural gas. Fractional distillation of crude oil & uses of fractions related to their properties. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which readily burn and react with chlorine. Pollution from carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, acid rain, nitrogen oxides are described and discussed and what makes a good fuel? and what are the implication of climate change-global warming. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that react with bromine and form polymers. Cracking solves several problems of supply and demand including making monomers to make polymers like poly(ethene), poly(propene), polystyrene. Plastics have many uses but some problems too. Introduction to Organic Chemistry - Why so many series of organic compounds? e.g. like alcohols, carboxylic acids and esters, addition polymers like PVC and condensation polymers like Nylon. Natural Molecules - carbohydrates - sugars - starch, amino acids, proteins, enzymes & chromatography, oils, fats, margarine and soap manufacture. Some extra notes on vitamins, drugs-analgesic medicines & food additives and ozone layer depletion, CFC's and free radicals and finally ideas are outlined on global warming and climate change.
