Hydrocarbon Bonding
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that have components of hydrogen and carbon. Most the hydrocarbons in the world are in crude oil compounds. Hydrocarbons have the same molecular formula but different structural formula which is known as structural isomers. There are several types of hydrocarbons;
• Saturated hydrocarbons: The simplest of all types. It has only single bonds which are occupied by hydrogen.
• Unsaturated hydrocarbons: This type has double or triple bonds between carbons.
• Cycloalkanes: It is hydrocarbon bonds that contain carbon rings and the rest is hydrogen.
• Aromatic Cycloalkanes: hydrocarbons with at least 1 aromatic ring.
Hydrocarbons can be in liquid solid or gas form. In solid form hydrocarbon

Raw gas compression, the process gas is further cooled. When the compressed gas is sent to the CO2 separator this is used in order to recover CO2. In the cold box section the operating temperature is low. The last step is the fractionation, in which it separates the product from the unreacted propane which is recycled.

Multiple reactors go through a controlled sequence of reaction and reheated. Recycled propane stream and fresh feed propane are vaporized and raised to the reaction temperature. The reactor operates at high pressure. At the compressor the discharge is cooled, dried and sent to the low temperature recovery section. Thereafter it is sent to a pressure swing adsorption unit to purify the hydrogen stream. Liquids from the low temperature recovery section and the flash drum are to a distillation or MTBE synthesis unit for product recovery.
Oleflex Process
Propane is recovered from propane-rich liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) streams from natural gas processing plants. Propane may also be obtained in smaller amounts as a by-product of petroleum refinery operations, such as hydrocracking and fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC). Propane (as well as ethane) prices are decreasing, as natural gas offerings in the USA are significantly increasing due to the rising exploitation of shale
The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
In this lab, the objective was to examine the effect of an SN2 reaction using a phase transfer catalyst in dichloromethane. We isolated the product of the phase transfer reaction by using liquid chromatography and then prepared TLC plates to see which of the five vials collected contained the isolated product and an IR spectrum was then obtained. The reaction in this lab was an example of an SN2 reaction. SN2 is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where one bond is broken and one bond is formed in one step.
The drilling process is several thousand feet. The drilling is done until a shale that contains trapped natural gas is reached. In order for the shale to release this gas pumped at a high pressure a mixer of sand, water, and many other chemicals is mixed together and then pumped to brake the shale. After the shale has released the natural gases, it is drawn back up through the fissures to the surface. Once it reaches the surface it is processed and refined, and ready to be shipped to the market.
On February 17, 2014, Douglas McIntyre wrote an article called, “Gas Prices Above $3 In All 50 States.” Douglas McIntyre informs us about the different prices that range throughout various states. McIntyre uses GasBuddy as a reference and he says that gas prices below $3.15 occur to only a few states. Texas and Oklahoma are oil-producing states and even their oil prices have increased to $3.20. Today, oil prices are continuing to sell at above $100 a barrel and are likely to continue to sell at that price in the far term.

14 vials were used for cotaining samples. When the distillation was proceeding at a moderate speed at about the wanted temperature, the receiver was replaced with a vial as the condensed vapour sample (V) and the thermometer was read. Half of the vial was filled with the sample. The stopper of the distillation flask was removed and using a dropper to collect the liquid.
Conclusion: In Station 1- reaction 2, Station 3- reaction 1, Station 4-reaction 1, Station 5 reaction 1, Station 6-reaction 1 and 2, and Station 7- 1 and 2 there was chemical reaction because all of those mixed ionic compounds created a precipitate. However some solutions did not become insoluble and produce precipitates such as: Station 1- BaCl2 (aq) + KNO3 (aq) , Station 2- KNO3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) and KNO3(aq) + CaSO4(aq), Station 3- Na2CO3(aq) + KNO3(aq) , Station 4- NaPO4(aq) + KNO3(aq)
INTRODUCTION A gas chromatograph (GC) can be utilized to analyze the contents of a sample quantitatively or in certain circumstances also qualitatively. In the case of preparative chromatography, a pure compound can be extracted from a mixture. The principle of gas chromatography can be explained as following: A micro syringe is used to inject a known volume of vaporous or liquid analyte into the head or entrance of a column whereby a stream of an inert gas acts a carrier (mobile phase). The column acts as a separator of individual or chemically similar components.
The crude oil is heated in a tall cylinder called fractionator for at least 350 degC. The process is based on the principle that different substances boil at different temperature. The cyclohexane content of naphtha fraction of crude oil can vary from 0.5 to 5.0 volume %. N-hexane, isohexanes, methyl cyclopentane, benzene and dimethyl pentanes have normal boiling points very close to cyclohexane.1 Advantages: 1. Uses a simple method of cyclohexane recovery. Disadvantages: 1.
The purpose of this experiment was to perform a bromination reaction that converts cyclohexane to trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane. To do this, 1 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide was mixed with 3 mL of bromic acid in a round bottom flask containing a spin vane. The solution turned from clear to orange, dark red. The color change is a useful indicator to identified whether reaction was completed before moving to another step. Next, 1 mL of cyclohexene was pipet into this mixture, which changed the solution from red to orange and eventually yellow.
The gas (gasoline) division is advance cultured and through an assortment of procedures is changed over into the fuel we control our autos with, warmth homes, and cook our nourishment. Certain parts of the gas division are evacuated (depentanized) and others have their substance structure changed (isomerized). A couple dirtying impacts are cleared (desulfurized), and others have portions added to convey the last thing (reformulated fuel).
The thermal distillation process uses heat to evaporate water and then later liquefy again. When there is leftover heat or enough electricity available, as is often the case with factories and power plants, thermal distillation is a well-organized and workable
Introduction Strong acids and strong acids both dissociate completely in water forming ions. However, strong acids donate a proton to form H3O+ along with a conjugate base and strong bases accept a proton to form OH- along with a conjugate acid. The chemical behavior of acids and bases are opposite. When they are together, their ions cancel out and form a neutral solution. In this experiment, HCl and NaOH will react to form NaOH and H2O with these two steps: The overall reaction is: Both Na+ and Cl- ions combine to form NaCl.
Thanks to the boiling chips, the heat is evenly distributed within the flask, which permits a more controlled boil and eliminates the possibility of the liquid in the flask bumping into the condenser[5]. The tedious distillation process is rather simple: the beverage evaporates in the distillation flask and, having no where else to go, enters the condensing tube, where it cools down and is converted back into liquid form. From there on, this liquid flows into the final container, a graduated cylinder [preferably in an ice bath]. The extracted distillate is otherwise known as ethanol, a clear, colorless, flammable liquid, produced through the process of glucose fermentation and frequently used as an intoxicating agent in liquors[6].
