Why the chemicals in crude oil separate out in a particular order?
Crude oil is made out of hydro-carbons which causes the oil to separate out in a particular oil. The different fractions of carbons work independently from each other.
How is fuel broken down into smaller more useful molecules such as gasoline petrol?
Crude oil is split into fractions using fractional distillation The crude oil is heated and separated based on boiling points. This process produces more Bitumen and other heavier fractions than lighter fractions such as diesel, naphtha and kerosene. To produce more fuel, catalytic cracking is used. In this process heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into lighter ones; For example hexane an alkane, it is converted in to butane and ethene. C6H14 -> C2H4 + C4H10
How many years does it take to make gasoline?
Gasoline is refined from oil in a matter of hours. Refineries that make oil, diesel, gasoline, naphtha and other products out of crude oil process 100,000 barrels or more of crude oil per day.
What is the fractional distillation of crude oil?
If you place crude oil (or any other material for that matter) in a container and heat the container from the bottom, and have outlets at different heights in the container wall for stuff that boils off, you get different "fractions" at the different outlets. This is fractional distillation.
What is the raw material needed to make ethene?
Although methanol can be produced using a number of raw materials (feedstocks), natural gas is preferred.
How is naphtha fraction separated from the other fractions?
By fractional distillation.

Why is petroleum known as crude oil?
Crude oil straight out of the ground is not uniform (clean), but is composed of many fractions which can be extracted simply by weight. Other fractions can be 'cracked' by heat, pressure, solvents and distillation. To distinguish from other, purer oils, the basic material is called 'crude'. Strictly speaking, 'petroleum' itself is a fraction of crude.

How is crude oil separated into different fractions?
you use fractional distillation! basically, all the different substances in crude oil have different boiling points, and the column which is used to do fractional distillation has stages with different temperatures. when the substance reaches its boiling point temperature in the column, it turns into liquid and settles there, away from other fuels.

Why is cracking done?
It is widely used to convert the high-boiling, high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of crude oil to more valuable liquid petroleum gasoline and other products.Answers.com
What is a separation method that allows all liquid fractions of a mixture to be separate from each other and collected in different containers?
Fractional distillation.
What can you do with crude oil?
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
What does A P I mean in crude oil assay report?
API (American Petroleum Institute number) or API gravity American Petroleum Institude gravity number) is a measure of the density of the crude oil. Take for example XX crude has an API gravity of 34 while YY crude has an API gravity of 22. This would mean that XX crude is lighter as compared to YY crude. If you were to then look at the assay data for the XX crude, you will see that it will contain more lighter components (Natural gas, naphtha, etc) when it is processed in the distillation column as compared to the YY crude. YY crude on the other hand will contain more heavier components such as (diesel or heavy oils,etc) as compared to the XX crude. Depending on what products is on demand, the crudes might be sold at different prices. If the demand for gasoline is high, then XX crude will be more valuable for it has higher amounts of lighter components and vice versa.
