What is a process in which crude oil can be separated?
Ditillation at different temperatures
What does it involve fractional distillation of crude oil?
This is the separation of crude oil components based on the differences between boiling point temperatures.
Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
Why is a thermometer needed when separating crude oil?
Because different fractions separate at different temperatures.
Self correcting mechanism crude oil prices?
Controls the price fluctuation.
How crude oil is separated into useful fraction?
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
How can you separate petrol and diesel from crude oil?
Fractional distillation. Petrol and diesel evaporate at different temperatures.
What is Nigeria's position in the world in producing crude oil?
Crude oil is crude..
What temperature does crude oil evaporate?
Since crude oil contains a variety of hydrocarbon components of different molecular weights, there is no single evaporation temperature. As crude oil is heated the lower molecular weight components boil off first. At temperatures above 650°F the crude oil will begin the process of "cracking" in which the larger components thermally degrade into smaller components. If crude oil is heated in this manner in the absence of oxygen, a final solid product called petroleum coke will be left behind, which consists of carbon, as well as the other impurities in the crude oil that were not removed such as sulfur, vanadium, etc.
What is mixed with crude oil from the ground to form kerosene?
Nothing. Kerosene is distilled from crude oil. Different constituents of crude oil have different degrees of volatility, so can be separated by heating them at different temperatures or removing condensations at specific temperatures. For example, gasoline is more volatile, so has a lower vaporization temperature than kerosene and a lower condensation temperature. By removing condensates under controlled conditions in a fractional distilling apparatus, the various parts of crude can be effectively separated in very pure form.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
Is crude oil a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
