Why is crude oil known as crude?
Crude Oil is hydrocarbon and it is mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
Which hydrocarbon comes first when crude oil burns?
Typically, methane is the hydrocarbon that burns first when crude oil is ignited. This is because methane has the lowest molecular weight and is the most volatile component in crude oil, making it the easiest to ignite and burn.
What gas that is likely to be a constituent of crude oil?
Methane is a gas that is commonly found in crude oil as a constituent. It is the simplest hydrocarbon and can be present in crude oil in varying quantities.
What is crude oil also known as?

Please help... I'm doing chem hw and I was wondering is crude oil a hydrocarbon?
Crude oil has varying degrees of crud in it, but it's mainly hydrocarbons.
What is the difference between hydrocarbons and crude oil?
Crude oil is a specific type of hydrocarbon, derived from organic matter buried deep underground and formed over millions of years. Hydrocarbons, on the other hand, refer to a broader class of compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon atoms that can be found in various forms both naturally and synthetically. Thus, while crude oil is a natural source of hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons can exist in different forms beyond crude oil.
How do companies obtain hydrocarbon?
it all started when crude oil was formed by dead organisms millions of years ago, it was buried under mud and silt. The pressurecompacted it which made a rich mixture a hydrocarbons known as crude oil, this is how they are made.
Can any hydrocarbon power an internal combustion engine?
Gasoline is a hydrocarbon obtained by separating crude oil into component fractions in a fractionating column; so yes a hydrocarbon can power an internal combustion engine.
Why does crude Oil not dissolve in water?
Crude oil is hydrophobic, which means it repels water and is not soluble in it. This is due to the nonpolar nature of the hydrocarbon molecules in crude oil, which do not interact well with the polar molecules in water. As a result, crude oil will not dissolve in water but will float on its surface.
Is crude oil used in place of whale oil?
