THE USE OF HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS IN EVERYDAY
LIFE
Before that, what is hydrocarbon intake?
Hydrocarbons
are carbon compounds that are composed only of carbon and hydrogen elements.
Grouped into two groups, namely:
1. Aliphatic hydrocarbons include alkanes,
alkenes and alkynes.
2. The aromatic hydrocarbons include benzene
and its derivative compounds.
The
main sources of hydrocarbons are all fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas).
Hydrocarbons have a very large compound derivatives, and it is arguable that
all carbon compounds or organic compounds are hydrocarbon derived compounds
because the major constituents are hydrogen and carbon.
Here are some useful hydrocarbons in everyday
life:
A. In the field of Clothing
From
hydrocarbon materials that can be used for clothing is PTA (purified
terephthalic acid) made from para-xylene where the basic ingredient is kerosene
(kerosene). From this Kerosene all the ingredients are formed into aromatics,
namely para-xylene. It is a benzene compound (C6H6), but there are two methyl
groups on C1 and C3 atoms of the benzene molecule.
B. In the Board field
1. Wood
Our house is built using wood that comes from trees. Wood is made up of various molecules, such as cellulose, lignin, tannins, and resins. Cellulose is the main constituent of wood consisting of tightly bound glucose molecules. Lignin is a form of hard structure in wood. The structure is very complex and large include the incorporation of protein and sugar molecules. Tannins are widely present in wood and can be used for the skin equation industry. Resins are often found in certain wooden bases and the types are different. For example balm, turpentine, and oil. The oil produced by pine trees can be used as a disinfectant. Resins are easily obtained from tree sap and some of them have a sweet smell.
2. Plastic pipe
To drain the excess water, an efficient and strong drainage channel is required. These plastic pipes are now widely used in homes for waterways. The type used is, PVC (polyvinylchloride) and PE (polyethene) both are produced in industrial synthesis. Both are resistant to heat and not easily cracked because the constituent molecules are strongly bonded. The molecular formula of PVC (C2H3Cl) n 'whereas PE is (C2H4) n'.

C. Trade field
1. Paper
Paper industry is one of the industries that have an important role in the economy in Indonesia. Indonesia is a country that supplies paper raw materials. Because Indonesia has a vast forest. The supply of paper for the country has been sufficient and currently attempted to export paper abroad.
2. Coal and natural gas
Indonesia's coal production in 2005 reached 150 million tons. Most of the production is used to meet the needs of exports to other countries. The rest is used domestically, for example for power plants, cement plants, and pulp industries. Coal contains a lot of hydrocarbons and some minerals, such as pyrite and headache.

D. The Use of Hydrocarbon Compounds in the
Field of Food
Some
chemicals consist only of carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons). Hydrocarbons are
used in industry, especially in the petroleum and asphalt industries. Chemical
energy stored in hydrocarbons, the constituent elements are carbon and
hydrogen. Hydrocarbons derive energy from the sun when plants use sunlight
during photosynthesis to produce glucose (food) Glucose, the simplest
carbohydrates flow in the bloodstream making it available to all body cells. U8
Why do oils and fats include hydrocarbons?
BalasHapusBased on the bonds that form on the oil is the absence of double bonds on fatty acids. So it is not saturated and causes at room temperature of liquid oil. While the fatty acid fat has double bonds that are saturated and cause at room temperature solid fatty fat. And both include aliphatic hydrocarbons as well as fats and oils having the same polarity.
HapusSpecify the characteristics of aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons?
BalasHapusCharacteristics Aliphatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbon compounds with saturated straight / open (single / alkane) or unsaturated chains (double bonds / alkene or alkynes).
HapusCharacteristics Aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbon compounds with circular chains (rings) that have bonds between single C and double atoms alternately (conjugate)
Please explain, how hydrocarbons can be formed and what are the benefits ???
BalasHapusHydrocarbon Formation Process
Hapus1. Generation, the benefit is Pressure from the rocks above the main rock makes the temperature and pressure become larger and can cause the parent rock to change from organic material to oil or natural gas.
2. Migration or migration, the benefit is that hydrocarbon compounds (oil and gas) will tend to move from source rocks to reservoirs due to their mild density compared to water.
3. Accumulation, the benefit is that a number of hydrocarbon compounds that move faster from the mother rock to the storage rock than the time of loss of the trap will make the oil and gas accumulate.
4. Storage (Preservation), the benefit is Oil or gas remain stored in storage rocks and not changed by other processes such as biodegradation (changed because there are microbes that can damage the quality of oil).
5. Time (Timing), the benefit is Traps must be formed before or during petroleum moves from the mother rock to the storage rock.
Give me an example in your statement that states "Hydrocarbons have a very large compound derivative, and it is arguable that all carbon compounds or organic compounds are compounds derived from hydrocarbons because the major elements are hydrogen and carbon."
BalasHapusHydrocarbons have a very large compound derivative because hydrocarbons are composed of two parts:
Hapus1. Aliphatic hydrocarbons include alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
2. The aromatic hydrocarbons include benzene and its derivative compounds.
Among several classes of organic compounds are aliphatic compounds, carbon chains that can be altered functional groups; Aromatic hydrocarbons, compounds containing at least one benzene ring; A heterocyclic compound that includes noncarbon atoms in the ring structure; And polymers, long chain molecules of recurrent clusters.
Besides usability, is there any danger? If any, please you mention.
BalasHapus1. Dangers to health
HapusHydrocarbons in the air will react with other materials and will form new bonds called plycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are commonly found in industrial areas and dense traffic. When PAH is included in the lungs will cause injury and stimulate the formation of cancer cells.
2. air pollution
One of the motor vehicle exhaust pollutants that participates in air pollution is hydrocarbons.
3. Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO 2)
The negative impact of the nitrogen oxides, among others: · Damaging plant and animal life. · Disturbing human health by causing irritation to the respiratory tract. · Are corrosive acid rain · · Elicit Elicit smog (smoke-mist) which may lead to reduced visibility, irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, plants wither, and the quality of the material.
