Sol. Petroleum gas : It is a mixture of butane, propane, propene, isobutane and ethane. The main constituent of petroleum gas is butane. At ordinary pressure butane $\left(C_{4} H_{10}\right),$ Propane $\left(C_{3} H_{8}\right)$ and ethane $\left(C_{2} H_{6}\right)$ are gases. Under high pressure, they are easily liquefied. The petroleum gas which has been liquefied under pressure is called liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The domestic gas cylinder contains LPG. LPG a better domestic fuel : Components of LPG burn easily and produce a lot of heat, so LPG is used as a good domestic fuel. Due to the following qualities, LPG is considered as a better fuel. (i) $\mathrm{LPG}$ is an efficient fuel as it has high calorific value, burning of 1 gram of LPG in air produces about 50 kilo joule of heat energy. (ii) LPG burns with a smokeless flame, so causes no pollution. (iii) It leaves no ash on burning so it is a clean fuel. (iv) On burning no poisonous gases are formed. (v) It is easy to handle and convenient in storing.

Sol. Petroleum : It is a naturally occurring fossil fuel that is dark coloured, viscous and foul smelling oil. It is a mixture of several hydrocarbons and other elements such as sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen. Mostly it occurs deep down the earth between two nonporous rocks, that’s why it is called as petroleum. (petra =rock, oleum $=$ oil ) or crude – oil.
Principle of refining of petroleum :”The process of separating different components of petroleum, is known as refining. It is carried out by the process of fractional distillation which is based on the fact that different components of petroleum have different boiling point ranges.
The crude-oil is heated in a tank to a temperature of about and all the vapours formed are fed into a tall fractionating column near the bottom. Except asphalt, all the other components are in vapour state. As the mixture of hot vapours rises up in the column, it begins to cool The vapours of components having higher boiling point-range condense first in the lower part and vapours of components with lower boiling point-range condense later at the upper part of column. Therefore, the components with the highest boiling point condenses first and is collected in the lowest part of the column and the component having lowest boiling point condenses last and is collected in the top most part of column. The vapours that do not liquify, are taken out from the top of the column. This component is called petroleum-gas. The residual oil or liquid residue which does not vapourise in the column is called residual oil. It is collected in the base of column and subjected to further distillation.
Products of petroleum : The various components obtained at different heights of fractional column, (in order of top to bottom of column) are as follows :
Q. Give the products when the following reagents react with alkenes (i) Sulphuric acid (ii) halogens (iii) oxidation (iv) ozone.
Download eSaral App for Video Lectures, Complete Revision, Study Material and much more...
Sol. (i) Reaction with sulphuric acid: Cold concentrated sulphuric -acid reacts with alkenes to gives addition products
(ii) Reaction with halogen : Halogens (chlorine and bromine only react at ordinary temperature and without exposure to $U V$ light to form vicinal halide.
(iii) Oxidation
(a) Oxidation with dilute aqueous potassium permanganate solution : At low temperature alkenes form vicinal glycols.
[This reaction is called hydroxylation as hydroxyl groups are attached across the double bond. $]$
(b) With alkaline potassium permanganate at higher temperature : In such conditions cleavage of $C=C$ bond occurs forming carboxylic acids.
(iv) Ozone: With ozone alkenes form ozonides which undergo cleavage to produce carbonyl compounds. This method was extensively used to determine the position of double bond in alkenes in past.
Procedure : Ozone is passed through a solution of an alkene in inert solvent such as $\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CHCl}_{3}$ or $\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$ at temperature $196-200 K .$ Alkenes are oxidised to ozonised which are not usually isolated but reduced in situ, with zinc dust and water or $H_{2} / P d$ to give carbonyl compound. The location of double bond is assigned on the basis of products.
(a) In case of symmetrical alkene, only one aldehyde is formed on reduction with zinc and water:
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}+\mathrm{O}_{3} \longrightarrow$
(b) If double bond is terminal, methanal is one product and a higher aldehyde is other product.
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{3} \longrightarrow$
(c) If ketone is formed, branching is there at C atom having double bond.
