Describe what crude oil is and where it comes from, including the basic composition of crude oil and the general chemical formula for the alkanes
State the names of the first four members of the alkanes and recognise substances as alkanes from their formulae
Describe the process of fractional distillation, state the names and uses of fuels that are produced from crude oil by fractional distillation
Describe trends in the properties of hydrocarbons, including boiling point, viscosity and flammability and explain how their properties influence how they are used as fuels
Describe and write balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels
Describe the process of cracking and state that the products of cracking include alkanes and alkenes and describe the test for alkenes
Balance chemical equations as examples of cracking when given the formulae of the reactants and products
Explain why cracking is useful and why modern life depends on the uses of hydrocarbons
