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
Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
Is crude oil compound or mixture?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds called hydrocarbons. Many useful materials can be produced from crude oil. It can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation, and some of these can be used as fuels. Unfortunately, there are environmental consequences when fossil fuels such as crude oil and its products are used.
