Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.

What is the mixture called when crude oil and petroleum come straight from the ground?
"Petroleum" products are distilled from crude oil, so what comes out of the ground is crude oil.
What is petol made out of?
Petrol is made out of crude oil which is a natural resource. When the crude oil is refined, petrol is produced in addition to other by-products like diesel.
Fractional distillation of crude oil?
Crude oil is actually made up of many different products with different boiling points. Fractional distillation separates the products from one another.

What can make from crude oil?
Products made from crude oil are called petrochemicals and include hundreds of products. You may also do a seach under petrochemicals and obtain more information. See related link.
Are products made from petroleum called hydrocarbons?
Products made form petroleum are called hydrocarbons. Petroleum and natural gas are where most hydrocarbons come from. Hydrocarbons are entirely made from crude oils.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
How much gasoline is made from a barrel of crude oil?
It varies alot. The minimum value is zero- as some crude oil are refined into other products. So, let's assume this is a crude that is economical to refine into gasoline. In this case , it can be as low as 2 gallons or as high as 23 gallons. (1 bbl = 42 gallons) Expressed as a percentage of the crude oil, this is 5 to 55%. (See attached links). The crude oil not refined as gasoline will be refined for other products. Common refined products from crude oil are provided in the related link, and will differ depending on the properties of the crude oil. It's very interesting that after refining, there will be more gallons of produced products than the original barrel of crude oil.
Why there is no need to crystallize a crude product?
Crude products are impure and have many impurities in it . so , there is a need to crystallize the crude product.
Is oil man made or natural?
Crude oil is a natural product, it's refined by man into the products we all use.
