Crude oil is actually made up of many different products with different boiling points. Fractional distillation separates the products from one another.
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
Fractional Distillation-I think
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
the Melting point depends on different types of Crude oil.. Crude oils are of different types ..so there is no specific Boiling point
fractional distillation.
You can separate substances in a crude oil by distillation process. But you have to know what are the boiling points of each of the substance in the crude oil.
Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation. The components of crude oil are separated by a process which is known as fractional distillation. Crude oil is made of different components whose sizes, weights and boiling temperatures are different from each other. When the crude oil is heated with high pressure steam at a high temperature, it boils and forms vapour. The vapour enters a fractional distillation column and settled in the trays of the column. The trays have holes in them which raise the contact time among the vapour and liquids. The vapour rises in the column and cools, the hotter substances settle at the bottom of the column and the cooler substances rise to the top of the column. The substances in the vapour condense and the fractions of liquid collect in the tray and pass to condensers and storage tanks.
The process of distillation is based on the differences between boiling points of substances.

Crude Oil is the mixture of difference substances, substances are seprated from crude oil through the process of Fractional Distillation. the substances extracted from crude oil are as follow : Fuel Gas (LPG) Petrol Naptha (used for plastics) Kerosene Diesel Fuel Oil (used to Fuel Ships) Lubricating Oil Bitumen (used for building roads)

Ditillation at different temperatures
Crude oil can be refined to make a plethora of petroleum product. Kerosene, gasoline, petroleum jelly (commonly known as Vaseline), lubricating oil, and heavy fuel, and many other products. Crude oil contains many different substances which all separate during the refining process.
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.
Through a process known as fractional distillation, also called cracking.The oil is heated and vapours of the various components are given off. The different vapours condense at different temperatures and these fractions are collected.
This question is misguided. Crude oil is first processed by heating it, which separates it into simpler mixtures called fractions which are of considerably more use than the original crude. This process is called fractional distillation, but it is NOT breaking anything down, merely sorting out substances which are already there. Some of the fractions, often those with higher boiling points may be broken down by cracking, a chemical process which also uses heat, often with a catalyst, and which produces smaller molecules such as those of petrol and ethene.
