C2 - Material Choices
Crude Oil
Mixture of hydrocarbons
Molecules that are made of a chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms only.
Varying chain length
Properties
As the length of the hydrocarbon changes the properties also change.
When supplied heat the smaller molecules receive enough energy to overcome the weak intermolecular forces
Low mpt and bpt
Longer chains need more energy
Higher mpt and bpt
Bonds in crude oil
Strong covalent bonds between the carbons and hydrogens of the molecule
Weak intermolecular molecular forces of attraction between molecules
Uses of Crude Oil
Separated by fractional distillation
Most of the hydrocarbons in crude oil are used to make fuels.
Some are sued to make new compounds
Plastics, medicines, fertilisers and food
Chemical synthesis
The petrochemical industry refines crude oil to produce fuels and lubricants.
It also produced raw materials that can be used to make synthetic chemicals
Some less useful hydrocarbons can be reacted with hydrogen so that they split into more useful hydrocarbons
Polymers
Polymerisation
Plastics are formed when lots of small molecules (monomer) join together to make a very long molecule (polymer)
Carbon based
Formed under high pressure
Properties
Polymers made from varying monomers have different properties
Strong and rigid
HDPE
Used to make milk bottles
Light and stretchable
LDPE
Plastic bags and water bottles
Strong and Durable
PVC
Rigid
Window frames and piping
Stretchy
Synthetic leather
Impact resistant and soft
Polystyrene
Packaging
Heat resistant
Melamine resin and polypropene
Plastic Kettles
Replacing natural materials
Synthetic fibres are replacing cotton, wool and silk
Lighter, more durable, water-resistant and often cheaper
Rigid PVC has replaced wood as a material for window frames
Weather-resistant, strong, durable, no painting
Structure and Properties of Polymers
Properties
Depend on molecular arrangement
Density
Polymers packed together tightly = high density
Polymer chains are spread out = low density
Forces
Weak forces
Free to slide over each other
Easily stretched
Low mpt.
Strong forces
Inflexible
higher mpt.
Cross links prevent free movement
Crosslinks are chemical bonds
Modification
Increase chain length
Stronger
Cross-linking
Stronger, stiffer, more heat resistance
Plasticisers
Softer and easier to shape
Work by reducing intermolecular forces
Crystallinity
Made more crystalline
Strighter chains with no branches
Higher density
Stronger and have higher mpt.
