What kind of mixture is petroleum?
Petroleum, that is unrefined crude oil is a heterogeneous mixture. These hydrocarbon components are separated and refined in fractional distillation columns. Refined constituents include diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene for example.

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..
What two industrial uses of distillation and what components of mixtures are separated in each use?
Separation of pure components from a mixture.

What compounds are in petroleum?

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.
