Crude oil is broken down by heat vaporized and allowed to condense into various liquids such as gasoline what is this process is called?

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.

When gases lose heat they into liquids?
When gasses lose heat they condense into liquids.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
What gases can be changed into a liquid?
Liquids turn into gas by vaporization, which is accomplished either by boiling or evaporating.
What do you mean by immescible liquids?
Immiscible liquids are liquids that don't dissolve in one another. Two examples of immiscible liquids would be alcohol and water and gasoline and water.
Is water the least dense than all the liquids?
No. Several liquids, including gasoline, oil and alcohol, are less dense.
When gases lose heat they into liquids?
When gasses lose heat they condense into liquids.
Do all liquids condense?
most likely yes
When gases loss heat they what in to liquids?
turn. jkjkjkjk condense
Do other liquids condense too how?
most likely yes
Are liquids flammable?
Not all liquids are flammable. Some liquids that are flammable are gasoline, alcohol, oil. Liquids like water are not flammable.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
What happens when you mix water and gasoline?
These liquids are not miscible.
A car is to gasoline as your body is to?
liquids containing caffeine. :)

What happens when liquid cools?
when solids are cooled they stay as a solidwhen liquids are cooled they turn into a solidwhen gases are cooled they condense into liquidshope this helps ;)
