Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 4.12 Crude oil processing and fuels
Identify the required process from the product change, conserve carbon and hydrogen in cracking equations and connect chain shape or fraction size to fuel use.
How this is tested
- Explain fractional distillation through boiling range and condensation level in the column.
- Balance cracking equations that form shorter alkanes, alkenes or hydrogen.
- Identify reforming or isomerisation as increasing petrol octane performance.
