What is a fraction in crude oil?
Crude oil is a mixture of various chemicals. If you distill crude oil you can separate it into components, which are also known as fractions.
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
Why can crude oil be separated using fractional distillation?
The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.
Why the mixture that is crude oil can be separated out?
lol hahahahaha\hahaha
Is crude oil homogenous?
Yes, crude oil is a homogeneous mixture of several hundred to several thousand pure components.
How crude oil are separated into its various components?
Separation by fractional destillation.
What fossil fuel is cleaned and separated at a special factory called a refinery?
crude oil processed in a refinery to separate it into its usable components.

Where is crude separated by heating?
An oil refinery
How crude oil separated?
fractional distillation.
How is crude oil separated?
fractional distillation.
Can crude oil be be split up into fraction using filteration?
No, crude oil is a mixture of many components that can be separated using distillation. Filtration only removes small amounts of impurities based on particle size, but does not actually separate.
What is a fraction in crude oil?

How is underground oil used?
It is brought to the surface and taken to an oil refinery where the different components are separated, like heating oil, diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel. These are different fractions of the crude oil from the well.
Why is crude oil separated by fractional distillation?
Petroleum is a mixture of various useful constituents and cannot be used directly,so to use it we have to seperate petroleum by a method called fractional distillation of petroleum.
