I got 2 questions if someone knows atleast one im glad to have the answer. Ok so extracting aluminium, after the aluminium froms and O2 forms up it reacts with the carbon electrodes so they need to be replaced, but what confuses me is why are the electrodes made of carbon in the first place? why not something which wouldnot react with the oxygen? ???
and the second question is not really a question but im confused, what are the carbon chain lengths of the oil fractions seperated by fractional distillation, each one has a different carbon chain length but I got 2 text books and the teachers notes and they all give different carbon chains, so which one should I study for the IGs? ???
because then aluminium might react with it or the oxygen might... or the electrode might melt...i guess

You dont need to memorise the carbon chains for the exam - just the names of the fractions and their uses.
what are the fractions....i keep forgetting the names... lemme see... gases,petrol,paraffin,diesel,lubricating oil and bitumen..... this is the correct order right?

@mdwael  The electrodes used have to be unreactive right ? Now remember this is an industrial process, you cant use platinum because its too expensive and many other metals would melt at 900 deg c.

So carbon is cheap and a good conductor.

Thank you Ive been trying to memorize them

refinery gas
gasoline (petrol )
naphthaline
paraffin/kerossene
dieself oils
fuel oil
lubrication oils
bitumen

yes!

because water is formed also

remmebr addition polymer jsut form a polymer

condesnation forms a polymebr and a small molecule , which is usually water

Thanks :) and sometimes a question asks us to differentiate between additional polymers and condensation polymers, so how do we do tht? I noe one is condensation polymers give out water, and theres something abt the monomers ryte? ???
