  1. Biofuel Jeopardy! Waterford Union High School

  2. Rules • Each team sends one person per turn. They cannot get help from their team • First to “buzz” in gets 15 seconds to answer. • If the first person to buzz cannot get the answer, the second team can buzz in. Once they buzz in, they too have 15 seconds. They also cannot get help. • You either gain or lose points on each turn. • If no team buzzes within 10 seconds, the question ends and the answer is given.

  4. Fossil Fuel Facts • Fossil fuels currently provide ___% of energy used in the United States • 85%

  5. Fossil Fuel Facts • Fossil fuels formed from… • Dead plants and animals

  6. Fossil Fuel Facts • These are all of the elements found in a hydrocarbon • Hydrogen and Carbon

  7. Fossil Fuel Facts • Petroleum products are separated from each other by ___ the crude petroleum. • Heating (or boiling)

  8. Fossil Fuel Facts • In order for a hydrocarbon to form, organic matter had to be exposed to intense ______ and ______ • Heat and pressure

  9. Combustion Concepts • These are the two byproducts of combustion of fuel • Carbon dioxide and water

  10. Combustion Concepts • Combustion is an ____________ reaction • Exothermic

  11. Combustion Concepts • Soot and carbon monoxide occur when a combustion reaction ____________ • Does not occur completely

  12. Combustion Concepts • For something to burn more cleanly, it has to burn more_______ • Completely

  13. Combustion Concepts • A reaction that absorbs energy would be called an ________ reaction • Endothermic

  14. CO2: Get a Clue • CO2 consists of the following molecules • One carbon and two oxygens

  15. CO2: Get a Clue • This process absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere • Photosynthesis

  16. CO2: Get a Clue • How does CO2 change surface temperatures? • It absorbs and re-emits solar radiation, slowing its release into space

  17. CO2: Get a Clue • CO2 levels are currently at _____ppm • 395 ppm

  18. CO2: Get a Clue • US Citizens contribute _____% of CO2 emissions • 25% (5x their proportion of the world’s population)

  19. Biofuel Benefits • What does it mean that ethanol and biodiesel are “carbon neutral”? • There are no net emissions of carbon dioxide

  20. Biofuel Benefits • If ethanol produces carbon dioxide when it is burned, how can it be “carbon neutral”? • The crops that are used to produce ethanol absorb the CO2 that is released when it is burned

  21. Biofuel Benefits • When combusted, ethanol releases ________ energy than it requires to be produced • More

  22. Biofuel Benefits • Ethanol will have a ____ gas mileage compared to gasoline • Lower

  23. Biofuel Benefits • Ethanol burns more completely because of what element found in its molecular structure? • Oxygen

  24. Transesterification • Transesterification is a chemical reaction in which the branched chains of an oil molecule are…. • Straightened out

  25. Transesterification • Besides oil, transesterification involves what other two ingredients? • Methanol and a catalyst (such as KOH)

  26. Transesterification • To what temperature must the oil be heated to in order for transesterification to occur? • 55-57o

  27. Transesterification • To wash biodiesel, we must use…. • Filtered water

  28. Transesterification • Drying biodiesel means to …. • Remove all water after washing

  29. Engine Interest • The energy in fuel is converted into motion how? • The fuel explodes, pushing down a piston that turns a crankshaft

  30. Engine Interest • In order for combustion to occur in a gasoline engine, you need a ________ _______ • Spark Plug .

  31. Engine Interest • Combustion in a diesel engine is created by … • Compressing diesel fuel until it heats to the point of combustion
