What is petroleum used for?

CNG can be used instead of petroleum

Uranium is not used in the petroleum industry.

petroleum is used for cars and for lawn mowers and lots more

Petroleum is a crude oil that is used to produce gasoline.

Petroleum and uranium can be used as fuels.

how else is petroleum used in the united states

Petroleum is a mixture of various useful constituents and cannot be used directly,so to use it we have to seperate petroleum by a method called fractional distillation of petroleum.

the petroleum is used as fuel. it is burned, letting out a burst of energy

Yes . . . motor oil IS refined petroleum.

There is no such thing as Aliphatic petroleum distillates. Petroleum distillates is the term used to refer to aliphatic hydrocarbons. These are typically solvents.

Petroleum and coal are largely used in chemical industry or as fuels.

Positive: 1) Petroleum is the primary fuel used in cars. 2) Petroleum can be used as a solvent. Negative: 1) Petroleum is highly flammable and can be used in petrol bombs. 2) Burning petrol is harmful to the environment as it releases Carbon dioxide.

petroleum gas. this gas is used for cooking.

Fractional distillation is used in petroleum industry to separe components of the crude oil.

Coal and petroleum are fuels used to create heat to make electricity and steam. Petroleum is also used as a chemical feed stock to make a wide variety of materials.

Petroleum was formed by the remains of animals the lived a long time ago. Petroleum is used in lip products. Some of the vegetation decomposed to make petroleum grew over 400 million years ago. The longer vegetation and animals are decomposed for, the stronger and better the petroleum is.

The are fuels: petroleum is a fossil fuel, uranium can be used as nuclear fuel.

No it is not. Now I hav a question 4 u, wat is petroleum used 4?

petroleum is important because it is used for fuel like cars,trucks,planes,etc

Most of the components of petroleum are separated by Fractional distillation.

Petroleum fractions are the useful substances that make up petroleum. Petrolium itself is not very useful, but the fuels, raw materials, and oil that are part of it are used all the time.

petroleum refining is petroleum refining

The petroleum industry used magnetic tape in geophysical exploration equipment

Uranium ia a natural metal, a radioactive chemical element. Uranium is used as a nuclear fuel. Petroleum is a complex of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel.

The most recent use for petroleum before it was used in automobiles was for lighting in kerosene lamps. Petroleum in the form of tar from oil seeps in the ground were used in antiquity to seal boats and the roofs of houses.

Something that contains no petroleum is petroleum-free.

Most countries use petroleum (in cars) and natural gas (in cooking stoves).

Uranium ia a natural metal, a radioactive chemical element. Uranium is used as a nuclear fuel. Petroleum is a complex of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel.

Petroleum is not a mineral because a mineral is a solid and petroleum is not; it is a fuel.

most likely since petroleum is used to help make almost every item found in a household

Ancient culture did not have the technology to separate petroleum from oil. A process we call "cracking". However oil was used for lamps etc.

Petroleum is used in different forms to propel almost all vehicles, - cars, trucks, trains, ships and aircraft all run on some sort of petroleum. Oils, lubricants for machines and you skin(vasoline), some household product and even make-ups have petroleum based/by products. Asphalt/tar and some plastics.

natural gas- a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons located under the surface of the earth, often near petroleum deposits; used as a fuel. petroleum- liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds; used wisely as a fuel source.

Petroleum is a liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds; used widely as a fuel source and Natural gas is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons located under the surface of Earth, often near petroleum deposits; used as a fuel.

Petroleum is one of the most valuable resources available in the world. It is used as a material resource because it helps in production of other materials. Examples of materials manufactured using petroleum include Diesel, Ink, and Motor Oil.

Fiscalisation of petroleum is the use of fiscal or economic devices to measure and record sales and tax information on petroleum transactions that would be used by Tax authourities in Value Added Tax economic systems.

Petroleum coke, also called petcoke , is a rocklike leftover of the oil refining process. Energy can be created from petroleum coke, so it is often turned into dry cells and fuels based on the type of coke it is. There are several classifications of petroleum coke, and each one is used to create different substances. Calcined petroleum coke is made when petroleum coke is calcined, or roasted, just below the melting point. This coke… Read More

Petroleum. Was used for more than just making gas for automobiles

white petroleum jelly is a substance like Vaseline, that is used in experiments for bacteria to grow and feed off.

plastic is made out of petroleum. The source for today's plastic is petroleum.

Products in this industry include calcined petroleum coke, regular petroleum coke, fireplace logs, fuel briquettes, or petroleum waxes, independently of petroleum refineries.

Petroleum distillates would be safe for ferrets IF the product is made specifically for ferrets to be used to treat ear mites.

Petroleum is a liquid.

So the energy from petroleum can only be released when the petroleum is burning

You don't crack Petroleum. Petroleum is one of the distillates of cracking crude oil.

Petroleum is used for lubricants and also for plastics, But primarily its distilled fractions (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, bunker oil) are used as combustion fuels. The hydrocarbon molecules of petroleum fuels provide a high impulse-to-weight ratio, and are easy to transport and store compared to other types of energy.

Brand name for a petroleum jelly product that is made from petroleum used as an ointment or base covering for wounds or rashes to avoid dryness.
