How many gallons of gasoline are there in a barrel of crude oil?
Zero. A barrel or crude oil contains... crude oil.
What do tankers carry?
Usually they carry crude oil. In general they are built to carry bulk liquids
How many gallons of gas is in one barrel of crude oil?
One barrel of crude oil produces about 19.6 gallons of gasoline.
What of the periodic table is oil made of?
Oil is a mixture of compounds (2 or more elements bonded together), not an element itself, so it does not appear in the periodic table. Crude oil is a mixture of Hydrogen and Carbon compounds (hydrocarbons) of varying lengths, but with the general formula CnH2n+2, for example octane, C8H18. The different compounds within the oil are separated by fractional distillation before it is suitable for use.
What is the name of the process that separates crude oil into more useful substances?
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.
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.
Is crude oil a mixture of several elements?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds, mainly hydrocarbons and derivatives of hydrocarbons.
What are the biological compounds of oil?
Crude oil compounds: Carbon, hydrogen, sulfur nitrogen, oxygen, metals, salts.
Is crude oil a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
What things are made from crude oil?
Crude oil is mixture of many compounds. Most of the compounds are composed of hydrogen and carbon, so they are called hydrocarbons. Oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and various trace metals also can be found in crude oil. When there is significant concentrations of sulfur, the crude is considered sour crude. See links.
Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
What are the properties of Brent Crude oil?
The properties of Brent Crude oil are the same properties of any crude oil, density, viscosity, and solubility. Although Brent is LCO (light crude oil).
what chemical in crude oil is more volatile oxygen carbon hydrogen or nitrogen?
Crude oil contain compounds of O, C, H, N and not chemical elements.
Is crude oil compound or mixture?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds called hydrocarbons. Many useful materials can be produced from crude oil. It can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation, and some of these can be used as fuels. Unfortunately, there are environmental consequences when fossil fuels such as crude oil and its products are used.
Is oil synthetic?
Oil that comes out of the ground is not synthetic but is called crude oil. Synthetic oil is man made with synthetic compounds. They are both oil.
What does crude oil consists of?
Crude oil, or petroleum is a mixture of "widely varying constituents and proportions"1, including hydrocarbons (i.e., paraffinic, napthenic and aromatics), dissolved gasses such as nitrogen and carbin dioxide, sulfur compounds, organic nitrogen compounds, organic oxygen compounds, organic metallic compounds, collodial particles (eg., resins), fresh and/or salt water, and solids, such as pipeline scale and corrosion products2.1. crude oil.

Crude oil is the same thing as?
Petroleum
