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.

Which among kerosene and glycerin is miscible in water?

Glycerin is miscible in water, while kerosene is not. Glycerin is a polar molecule with hydrogen bonding capabilities, allowing it to mix well with water. Kerosene is non-polar and hydrophobic, so it does not mix with water.


Is crude oil in solid form?

How does the crude oil explode?

Crude oil does not actually explode on its own. To explode, crude oil must first be vaporized and mixed with air in specific proportions to form a flammable mixture. When this mixture is ignited by a spark or flame, it can result in an explosion.


How do you mix kerosene and bitumen to form cutback?

To mix kerosene and bitumen to form cutback asphalt, heat the bitumen until it reaches a temperature where it becomes fluid, typically around 160-180°C (320-356°F). Gradually add the kerosene to the heated bitumen while continuously stirring to ensure a uniform mixture. The ratio of kerosene to bitumen can vary depending on the desired consistency and application, but it is generally around 10-30% kerosene by weight. Once fully mixed, the cutback is ready for use in paving or sealing applications.


Where does crude oil get its name?

Crude oil is named because it is a raw, unrefined petroleum product that comes directly out of the ground in liquid form. It is called "crude" because it has not been processed or refined into its various components such as gasoline, diesel, or other petroleum products.

Which of the following liquids form a single layer on mixing?

Liquids that are immiscible (do not mix) will form a single layer when mixed. Examples include oil and water, where the oil will float on top of the water, forming distinct layers.
