Best Answer

you put all the gas from the petrol into a tube with water and then a spare tube will take the crude oil into it. so there you go.

How would you separate two liquids in a mixture that have different boiling points?

One rather simplified example is the fractional distillation of crude oil to produce a wide range of petroleum products: diesel, petrol, plastics, and so on. The fractional distillation process depends on the boiling points of the various liquids required.


Why does petroleum have to be refined?

Petroleum comes out of the ground as crude oil. Crude oil has different properties it is not clean and depending on where it is from needs cleaning up and the removal of components that are not desirable in the running of an engine. Crude is divided into many different products ranging from plastic to petrol to highly refined fuels like petrol. To run an engine on straight crude oil you would need a much bigger engine much more fuel and it would prove to be environmentally very bad.You would also need a totally different system for getting the fuel into the cylinders because crude oil is very thick and would not flow or evaporate like petrol


What is petrol made of and how?

Petroleum or crude is mixture of hydrocarbons formed by organic activities of dead plants and animals inside the earth (organic theory). Least accepted inorganic theory explains that the carbon deposits during formation of earth would have resulted in petroleum formation. When distilled,crude oil gives out petrol which is again hydrocarbon mixture..


When doing recrystallization what observations would prompt you to perform hot filtration?

The process of recrystallization typically involves the dissolving of a crude solid in a recrystallization solvent by heating up the mixture. For crystallization to begin the crude solid has to dissolve completely so if it is observed that the crude solid has not completely dissolved a hot filtration step is required to separate the solids that are suspended.


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.

What are the important uses of crude oil?

Crude oil can be refined in to a multitude of chemicals: a short list would be petrol, diesel, paraffin, plastics, solvents, and so on.

Will petrol float on diesel?

No, although it is lighter than diesel and therefore would normally float to the top, the two will dissolve in each other forming a new liquid that will not separate into layers.

How is petrol made?

from crude oil. it is refined in many gradesCrude oil is the starting raw material, the thick black fluid the get from oil rigs. This is then distilled, which means that it is heated in a controlled way to separate out all of the constituents. In the distillation tower, the different products come out at different stages. The tar comes out near the bottom, then aviation fuel, then diesel nearer to the top then petrol (or gasoline as some would have it), then the lightest products right at the top of the tower such as propane.this is not a practical perform answer. if we take a crude oil and saprated it composition till the reaching of composition of petrolium , if we reach the composition of then we can make the petrol by using the crude oil as raw material.


What came first petrol or diesel?

Petrol came first, as it was more obvious as a use of power than diesel because it was flammable and already in liquid form, yet diesel was discovered as a use of power for engines later. I would say petrol because when they invented cars they made petrol cars and from the chemicals etc. in petrol they invented diesel


Can alchol fuel cars?

In theory yes but there's very little point in it as you can either get ethanol from crude oil through distilling and cracking through which you can also get diesel and petrol from. You can also make ethanol out of vegetables but again you can also make diesel. The main use of ethanol in running cars I would say is bio-petrol which is just a mixture of petrol and ethanol. All this achieves is less petrol being used. But yes, you can fuel your car on it after modifications but it's more commonly used as an additive to petrol.


Would a diesel car still drive on petrol?

Absolutely not! Petrol (gasoline) can cause catastrophic damage to a diesel automobile engine, even in very small quantities.


Can petrol engine start with diesel?

no it would make the car break down


What happens if you put 2 liters of petrol in diesel engine with 20 liters diesel?

I would recommend not running the engine until the fuel is drained. Any amount of petrol/gasoline in a diesel can cause engine or fuel system damage.
