Crude oil differs from place to place for a variety of reasons including but not limited to:
- composition of the original organic matter
- temperature and pressure level that the organic matter was subjected to over geologic time (which relates to depth)
- impurities in the soil at the particular location of the crude
What else can I help you with?
What is the fractional distillation of crude oil?
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.
What is oil still in the ground called?
Crude oil but there are several different grades of crude.
What is oil called before its been refined?
Crude oil. and this comes in different grades.
Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is separated into different chemical compounds through a process called fractional distillation. This process involves heating the crude oil to high temperatures, then cooling it in a fractionating column. The different compounds in crude oil have different boiling points, allowing them to be separated based on their molecular size and weight.
Is crude oil a chemical?
Crude oil is a complex mixture of a great many different chemicals.
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.
How do we get oil from crude?
To get lots of different oils from the main crude oil you must put it into a fractional distilaltion chamber.
What is a refinery?
It is a place where crude oil is separated into many different usable fuels and chemicals.
How many different compounds are there in crude oil?
Crude oil consists of thousands of different compounds, including hydrocarbons, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds. The exact number of compounds in crude oil can vary depending on its source and composition.
What are the different fuels made from?
Different density's of crude oil
Used to separate substances from crude oil?
Fractional distillation is used to separate substances from crude oil based on their boiling points. Crude oil is heated, and its components vaporize at different temperatures. As the vapors rise through a fractionating column, they condense at different levels to be collected as different products such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel.
What is the melting point for crude oil?
the Melting point depends on different types of Crude oil.. Crude oils are of different types ..so there is no specific Boiling point
