It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
Separation by fractional destillation.
Typically they are separated in a fractional distillation tower.
The separation is possible by fractional distillation.
Ex.: crude oil, liquid air, water-alcohol mixture.
Crude oil is separated in an oil refinery which makes a bunch of different byproducts such as airplane gas, kerosene, and alot more. -cooleye101

fractional distillation.
It is separated by fractional distillation into the different components.
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
The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
Ditillation at different temperatures
lol hahahahaha\hahaha
At refineries.
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
Unless you own a cargo ship and run it on crude oil - some operators do - it has to be separated into fractions before it's usable.
