Which fraction in the fractional distillation of crude oil has the longest chain molecule?
Because this crude oil has a short chain
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
What is the name of the process used to obtain fraction from crude oil?
It's fractional distillation!
What is the make up of crude oil?
There is a simple answer to this question and a more complicated answer. It depends if you are asking what are the major elements that make up crude oil or what compounds can be found in oil. Crude oil is composed mainly of hydrocarbons compounds. Organic compounds containing nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen may be present. Crude oil is a complex mixture, and and the compounds and their fraction in the crude oil will be different in each oil field. Although there are many compounds, these compounds are formed from hydrogen and oxygen. The more complicated answer is there are hundreds of compounds - see related links.
Can crude oil can be a liquid or a gas?
Crude Oil is a liquid.
Did crude oil means petroleum?
Petroleum is refined from crude oil and is but one fraction only

Because this crude oil has a short chain
Does crude oil have a low viscosity fraction?
yes it does

What fraction from crude oil has the smaller molecules?
fuel gases, because they have the smallest amount of carbons present...between 1 and 4.

What is a feeds stock as related to petroleum chemistry?
Feedstock is the stuff you start with... probably crude oil for petroleum chemistry, though you might begin with a particular fraction of the oil instead of crude.

What is Nigeria's position in the world in producing crude oil?
Crude oil is crude..
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
What can you do with crude oil?
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
Is crude oil a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
