Why is a thermometer needed when separating crude oil?
Because different fractions separate at different temperatures.
Is mixing and separating oil and water a chemical reaction?
No, it is a physical process.
What is refine oil?
Oil refining is the process of distilling oil and then further reforming, catalytic cracking, hydrofining, blending, and sometimes coking, hydrocracking, alkylating various fractions of the distilled oil.
How can separate oil and water?
Oil and water naturally do not mix, so separating them is not too difficult.You have to just pour the upper part of the solution (the oil) into other container. This process is also known as decantation.
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.
What is the name of the processes used to obtain fractions from crude oil?
there is only one process. that is fractionation. it can also be said fractional distillation.
What is a process where a substance is heated evaporated and cooled in a collection chamber and the different fractions of crude oil distill at different temperatures?
Distillation
What are the kind of separating mixtures?
oil and water
Why is the process of separating crude oil involves physical changes and not chemical changes?
Dude you in mrs forewards class in bish? If you are then....your screwed, and were both failing :D
Where is the crude oil taken for separating its components?
Refinery
Methods on separating oil and water?
A simple method is decantation.
What fractions are usually cracked?
Petrol, fuel oil , disel oil
