Alkanes 2

Back to: AQA A Level Chemistry

In this lesson, we will cover

• obtaining raw materials for organic synthesis
• crude oil
• cracking
• combustion – complete and incomplete
• internal combustion engine
• reducing pollution

Please make your way carefully through the videos. If you think you are happy in your knowledge of these topics, you can of course jump to the next lesson. Alternatively, you could try the quiz to make sure.

Video 1 – covers obtaining the raw materials for creating a range of organic molecules in industry from crude oil and the importance of the different methods, including cracking.

Video 2 – covers combustion products of complete and incomplete combustion, have to remove pollutants from exhaust gases (catalytic converters and scrubbers).
