Best Answer

If you place crude oil (or any other material for that matter) in a container and heat the container from the bottom, and have outlets at different heights in the container wall for stuff that boils off, you get different "fractions" at the different outlets. This is fractional distillation.

Why can crude oil be separated using fractional distillation?

The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.


Why the crude oil has to be heated in the fractional distillation?

When crude oil is processed in the fractional distillation column it separates out different by products on the basis of their boiling points. Most of the by- products of the crude oil have a large difference in their boiling points so method of fractional distillation is viable in such a process. Fractional distillation can also be done to separate out water and acetone from a solution.
