What is the lightest oil?
No. Liquid ether at 72.72 kg/m3 is much lighter than crude oil at 790 (or so) kg/m3.
What physical property is used to separate crude oil into fractions?
Difference in the boiling points among different byproducts of crude oil is used to separate out each component from a mixture. Fractional distillation is used to carry out this process. This method can also be used to purify water and acetone from a mixture.
What is the size of a barrel of crude oil?
A barrel of crude oil is 159 Litres.

The crude oil fractions are deisel, pertol (gas), propane, butane, tar etc.These are used as fuels, in the chemical industry and in the paving of roads.
Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
Why crude oil is separated into different fractions?
Unless you own a cargo ship and run it on crude oil - some operators do - it has to be separated into fractions before it's usable.
Is diesel is type of oil?
Diesel just like gasoline and kerosene are a refinement of crude oil. Diesel is known as 'diesel oil' or 'heavy oil' and is the heaviest distillate of crude oil. Petrol is a spirit and is the lightest distillate.
How does naphtha separate from the other fractions of crude oil?
fractional distillation
What are the lighter fractions of crude oil generally used for?
liquid petroleum
Process of separating crute oil into fractions?
Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation in an oil refinery.
Can you separate oil?
Crude oil is readily separated into fractions one of which is gasoline. Lubricating oil is much more difficult.
