What chemical do you use to break down crude oil?

You don't use any... It's called Distiling... Crude oil is a micture of diffrent lengths of Hydrocarbons and they each boil at diffrent tempretures so the Crude Oil is put into a big tube (sort of) and then heated up and each set of hydrocarbons will boil at a different tempreture and will reach the top of the tub were it is then collected... Very basic answer... Search Fraction Distillation for more info!
