Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation.
The components of crude oil are separated by a process which is known as fractional distillation. Crude oil is made of different components whose sizes, weights and boiling temperatures are different from each other.
When the crude oil is heated with high pressure steam at a high temperature, it boils and forms vapour. The vapour enters a fractional distillation column and settled in the trays of the column. The trays have holes in them which raise the contact time among the vapour and liquids.
The vapour rises in the column and cools, the hotter substances settle at the bottom of the column and the cooler substances rise to the top of the column. The substances in the vapour condense and the fractions of liquid collect in the tray and pass to condensers and storage tanks.
It's called fraction distillation. In this process a column with a lot of trays uses for separating the compounds in crude oil.
It is called fractional distillation, sometimes called cracking.
The process of distillation as carried out in an oil refinery.

Fractional distillation or 'cracking'
Fractional distillation
This separation is made by distillation.
Boiling
Zero. A barrel or crude oil contains... crude oil.
crude fat is the fat with alcohol
Usually they carry crude oil. In general they are built to carry bulk liquids
One barrel of crude oil produces about 19.6 gallons of gasoline.
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
fractional distillation.
You can separate substances in a crude oil by distillation process. But you have to know what are the boiling points of each of the substance in the crude oil.
The process of distillation is based on the differences between boiling points of substances.
Crude Oil is the mixture of difference substances, substances are seprated from crude oil through the process of Fractional Distillation. the substances extracted from crude oil are as follow : Fuel Gas (LPG) Petrol Naptha (used for plastics) Kerosene Diesel Fuel Oil (used to Fuel Ships) Lubricating Oil Bitumen (used for building roads)
because there are too many substances in it, all with different boiling points
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
This process helped us to separate ex-specially for crude oil.
This question is misguided. Crude oil is first processed by heating it, which separates it into simpler mixtures called fractions which are of considerably more use than the original crude. This process is called fractional distillation, but it is NOT breaking anything down, merely sorting out substances which are already there. Some of the fractions, often those with higher boiling points may be broken down by cracking, a chemical process which also uses heat, often with a catalyst, and which produces smaller molecules such as those of petrol and ethene.
Fractional Distillation-I think
Purifies the crude oil coming in to be useful for Gasoline, Diesel, etc.
crude oil is needed because it is useful to use in home etc..........
