C1a Making Crude Oil Useful

You need to be able to:

• Describe the composition of crude oil (non-renewable fossil fuel, problems because of this, hydrocarbon mixture)
• Explain how the fractional distillation of crude oil works (labelled distillation column with fractions, bond type that breaks)
• Explain the cracking of fractions (why it's done, how it's done in the lab, how it's done on a larger scale, link to supply and demand)
