What does crude oil contain?
Crude oil contains a mixture of hydrocarbons molecules
What chemical element is bonded to hydrogen to make up crude oil?
fuel pump
Why does crude oil need to be separated?
You use fractional distillation. This involves a fractionating tower in which vaporised crude oil is fed into. It relies on the substances in crude oil having differnet boiling points. The temperature decreases further up the column, so shorter chain molecules condense near the top, while longer chain molecules - like bitumen - condense lower down - near 350 degrees. This refines crude oil easily.
What chemical elements make up crude oil?
The make-up of crude oil consists 84% carbon molecules,14% hydrogen, and the remaining consists of nitrogen, oxygen, and various metals.
What fraction from crude oil has the smaller molecules?
fuel gases, because they have the smallest amount of carbons present...between 1 and 4.
What role does carbon play in the creation of crude oil?
Crude oil is a compound made up of Hydrocarbons (hydrogen and carbon), which are chemically bonded together.
Why is crude oil a mixture?
It has different types of elements in it (some a compounds). Not just one type. These are not chemically bonded making it a mixture.

What chemical element is bonded to hydrogen to make up crude oil?

What is the connection between the size of the molecules in the crude oil and their condensing or boiling points?
sa
What is the difference between synthetic oil and non synthetic oil?
Synthetic oil is a chemically made substitute made from petroleum components as opposed to non synthetic which is made from crude oil.

How crude oil is separated into useful fraction?
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
What chemical elements make up crude oil?

A lot of names of fuels that you get from crude oil?
These are often called hydrocarbons, though they can also refer to a much wider variety of organic molecules, which are all flammable. Among those obtained from crude oil are: gasoline (chemically known as iso-octane), propane (main ingredient of LPG), butane (used in lighters), naphtha (lighter fluids), kerosene, benzene, paraffin wax (seen in candles), etc.
What fraction from crude oil has the smaller molecules?
fuel gases, because they have the smallest amount of carbons present...between 1 and 4.
What is Nigeria's position in the world in producing crude oil?
Crude oil is crude..
