Catalyst is not the right word to use. A catalyst speeds up the reaction and has nothing to do with the boiling point. If you want to reduce the boiling point of diesel you would have to take out more impurities through further refining.

What are the boiling point ranges of petrol and diesel?

Petrol has a boiling point of 38-204 degrees Centigrade, while diesel has a boiling point of >150 degrees centigrade.


Who has the lowest boiling point fraction petrol or diesel?

Petrol has a lower boiling point than diesel. This is because petrol is a lighter fraction of crude oil, consisting of shorter hydrocarbon chains, which results in a lower boiling point compared to diesel.


Is boiling point of diesel greater than water?

water max boiling is 100 c. and diesel max boiling is 365 c.


Flash point of diesel?

Diesel fuels have different chemical compositions, which affect the boiling point. Conventional diesel fuels usually have a boiling range of about 149 degrees C to 371 degrees C.


How do you separate diesel and petrol?

Distillation, Gasoline has a lower boiling-point, so it will separate-out first.


How can reduce the boiling point of methanol?

If we pressurize the liquid ( same like pressure coocker) its vapour pressure increases. As the vapour pressure increases boiling point increases and visa versa. Also to reduce the boiling temperature we can add another liquid with a lower boilng point in it so that its boiling point reduces. Exact boiling point can be determined with the known boiling poin t and ratios of the different liquids.


The freezing point and the boiling point of water can be altered by a variety of techniques Which of the following has little or no effect on the boiling point of water?

Pressure changes have little effect on the boiling point of water. The boiling point of water changes depending on the pressure, but the effect is minimal compared to other factors like adding solutes or using a catalyst.


What is a vacuum distillation?

When pressure is reduced the boiling point will also reduce


How does the boiling point affect sugar water?

salt or sugar would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point. The salt or sugar would reduce the partial pressure of water in the solution (essentially more competition), effectively raising the boiling point.


How is boiling different from boiling point?

Boiling is the phase where the boiling occurs. The point at which the boiling occurs is the boiling point.


How do you alter the operating temperature of antifreeze?

You don't. Either add more to up the boiling point or reduce.


How do you increase the flash point in diesel oil?

A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.
