Are the petrol diesel bitumen hydrocarbons?
Yeah they are!
What meant by crude petrol?
Mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbons that is refined into diesel, gasoline ------------------------- Crude petrol is petrol as extracted, without any treatment.
What is petrol and diesel?
Diesel and petrol (gasoline) are flammable fossil fuels containing hydrocarbons that we get when plants and animals get buried in the soil and decay over many years. It eventually forms crude oil which is refined into petrol or diesel.
What is Chemical composition of petrol and diesel?
Petrol is primarily composed of hydrocarbons with chain lengths varying between 4 to 12 carbon atoms, along with small amounts of additives. Diesel is composed of longer hydrocarbon chains, typically ranging from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, with higher boiling points compared to petrol. Both fuels may also contain small amounts of sulfur compounds and other additives for performance and emission control.
What is oil petrol and diesel made of?
Oil, petrol, and diesel are made from crude oil, which is a fossil fuel formed from the remains of tiny plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds containing hydrogen and carbon atoms. The refining process separates the different hydrocarbons present in crude oil to produce products like petrol and diesel.
What liquid is made of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms?
Many hydrocarbons such as petrol, diesel, benzene, toluene, etc.
Why does diesel freeze quicker than petrol?
Diesel fuel and petrol/gasoline are similar; both of them are mainly mixtures of hydrocarbons. However, Diesel is considerably less volatile because it the compounds in it are of higher molecular weight; they have a higher boiling point ... and also a higher freezing point.
Where does diesel and petrol come from?
It is refined from crude oil.
Mixture of hydrocarbons that are used for fuels?
A mixture of hydrocarbons used for fuels is typically known as gasoline or petrol. Gasoline is a blend of different hydrocarbons, typically ranging from light to medium weight, which are derived from crude oil through the refining process. These hydrocarbons are designed to provide an efficient source of energy for internal combustion engines in vehicles.
What is the economic importance for cracking hydrocarbons?
Cracking hydrocarbons is very important because in order to power our cars and warm our homes we have to use crude oil which is cracked into smaller hydrocarbons which make diesel and petrol and other types of fuels for our homes and environment. :)
Is diesel fuel a compound of hydrocarbons?
No . it is a mixture of hydrocarbons.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
