Unit 3 Petroleum: Making and Breaking Bonds
Section A: Petroleum--What Is It? (pp 176- 191)
1) Definitions (Look 'Em Up Yourself)2)
a) Wester Europe has the least while the Middle East has the greatest petroleum reserves. b) N. America, Europe, and Asia consume more petroleum than the posssess, while S. America, Africa, and the Middle East possess more petroelum than they consume. c) Regions that consume more petroleum than the possess are likley importers while exporters will countried that possess more than they consume. (See answer b.) 3)
a) There are two substances (two flat portions) in the mixture. b) The substances are acetone and 2-propanol. c) 2-propanol and cyclohexane would be the most difficult to separate due to their close boiling pts. d) Water has the highest intermolecular attractions since it has the highest boiling point. Acetone would have the lowest intermolecular attractions. 4)

Section B: Petroleum As An Energy Source (pp 195 - 239)
1) Definitions - Look 'Em Up Yourself2)
a) Exothermic: N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3 + Energy
Endothermic: Energy + H2O (s) H2O (l)
Endothermic: Energy + NH4Cl NH4 + + Cl -
Exothermic: CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O + 890 KJ
b) Heat = 4.18 J/(g oC) x 40 g x (50 - 25 oC) = 4180 J c) 1,130,000 J = 4.18 J/(g oC) x (X g) x 80. oC X g = 3400 J 3)
a) 4.7 gal b)

C3H8 + 5 O2 3 CO2 + 4 H2O + 2200 KJ
b)
2 C6H14 + 19 O2 12 CO2 + 14 H2O + 8282 KJ
c)
3 moles x 2220 KJ / 1 mole = 6660 KJ 5)
a) 75.0 g b) 32.3 oC c) 10,100 J d) 0.21 g e) 48,200 J/g f) 48.2 KJ / mol g) 17,000 KJ/mol 6)
Octane ratings in gasoline can be increased by adding tetraethyl lead, using oxygenated buels, or using more branched-chain hydrocarbons.

a)
Biomass (wood) was the type of fuel consumed before 1875. b)
Use of coal increased dramatically from 1875 - 1925. c) Petroleum was used primarily after the 1950s. d)
Nuclear power is not a major energy source (~ 10%) currently. 3) Compressed natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels can power automobiles.
