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.
What kind of mixture is petroleum?
Petroleum, that is unrefined crude oil is a heterogeneous mixture. These hydrocarbon components are separated and refined in fractional distillation columns. Refined constituents include diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene for example.
How is gasoline produced?
Gasoline is a major component to crude oil. This component is produced in refineries through the fractional distillation by subjecting crude to heat.
Can crude oil can be a liquid or a gas?
Crude Oil is a liquid.
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.

What is the difference between crude and brent oil?
Crude oil is that oil that comes out of an oil well head (before it is refined). However, different oil wells produce different types of crude oil (some is thick and some is very runny)For commercial trading purposes, Brent Crude is a major classification of sweet light crude oil that serves as a major benchmark price for purchases of oil worldwide.
What is oil refaining?
It's oil refining not refaining. Oil as it comes from the ground is called "crude oil." Crude oil contains many different constituents such as gasoline, motor oil, diesel oil, kerosene, other lubricating oils, propane, etc. Separating these different parts of the oil is called "cracking." Refining is putting crude oil in "cracking towers" where the different constituents are separated. Cracking towers are like tall tubes standing several stories high. in the bottom of the tube crude oil is heated and turned into vapor. As the heated vapor rises in the tube it get cooler and cooler. As it cools, the different constituents of the vapor turn back into liquid at different temperatures. There are buckets at different levels of the tube (different temperatures) to collect the different liquids.
What is the major influence of crude oil prices?
A major influence of crude oil prices is the price of oil to export it from other countries. It also has to depend on the relationship countries have with each other.
