Why nitrogen is separated first in fractional distillation?
The lightest substituent (lowest boiling point) is taken off first. Petroleum gas, followed by naphtha. I do not know what you mean by nitrogen
Which liquid would be the first to be collected in the fractional distillation?
fractional distillation this is a liquid with the lowest boiling point
What is kerosene oil?
Kerosene is a thin clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons obtained from fractional distillation of petroleum. The process of distilling petroleum into kerosene was first written about in the 9th Century in Persia. By the 1700's it was known as a byproduct of making coal gas and coal tar, but it burned with a smoky flame and was not for use indoors. In 1848 a Canadian discovered a new process and made a fuel for lamp oil which burned bright and clear
How are hydrocarbon molecules separated?
using fractional distillation. first crude oil is heated up until it turned to gas and the residue (bitumen) goes through the most bottom pipe to be used for tar macing roads. The fractionating column has different fraction that are at different temperatures (gets colder as you go up). And because hydrocarbons got different boiling point (the longer the hydrocarbon, the higher the boiling point), the gas then travels up and as certain hydrocarbons got to the fraction below their boiling point they turn from gas to liquid and go through the pipe to be used.The fractional distillation goes in this order:-(shortest chain/lowest boiling point)LPGPetrolParaffinLight Gas OilDieselLubricating SubstancesBitumen(longest chain/highest boiling point)Hope this help! (if not don't blame me, I'm only 14!)
How do you chemically separate oxygen from air?
Oxygen from air is separated by first condensing it into a liquid and then using fractional distillation to separate nitrogen and other gases. That is the only way to separate oxygen from air on industrial scale.
Does low boiling hydrocarbons comes out of the fractionating tower first in the fractional distillation of petroleum?
Yes, it is correct.
Explain how fractional distillation is used to separate petroleum into components?
you use metromorphism distillation to separate the fractions

Which liquid would be the first to be collected in the fractional distillation?
fractional distillation this is a liquid with the lowest boiling point
Why does nitrogen boils first during fractional distillation of liquid air?
Oxygen is the first to boil.
How is neon isolated from its natural form?
Through the processs of fractional distillation. It is first obtained by liquefaction.
How do you form methane gas?
methane is the first (and most simple) of the homologous series known as alkanes. It can be formed many ways of which some are --> i) catalytic cracking --> in this process large alkanes are broken down into smaller simpler alkanes and alkenes (of which methane is one) ii) biogas/manure --> in the process of fermentation or anaerobic digestion of manure, about 50% to 75% of the gas released is Methane gas iii) fractional distillation of crude oil/petroleum --> methane is obtained in the top fraction in the fractional distillation of crude oil or petroleum.
What is the difference between simple distillation and fractional distillation?
Simple distillation refers to the "simple" separation of a solid and a liquid by evaporating the liquid and collecting it after it passes through a condenser to be changed into a liquid state. Fractional distillation refers to the more complex way of separation, usually involving a liquid/liquid mixture (eg. ethanol and water). these can be separated since they both have different boiling points. When this mixture is heated the ethanol having the lowest boiling point boils off first, followed by the water. However the fractional coulomb condenses both gases back into liquid, and fall back in the flask, with time the ethanol gains enough energy to over come the fractional coulomb (this happen before the water does this since ethanol has a LOWER boiling point) and pass through the condenser, changes into a liquid and is collected.
What substance is removed at the filtration stage during the fractional distillation of air?
First the components or the gases in the air are liquefied(made into liquid)under low temperature and high pressure.Then it is passed through the fractionating column.Gases evaporate there.Then the gases can be obtained.
Is it true that in fractional distillation of petroleum low-boiling hydrocarbons come out first?
Yes Since they have a lower boiling point, they have a higher vapor pressure - or to be more exact, a higher fugacity, than the higher boiling point components at the same temperature.
How does fractional distillation separate Crude oil into fractions?
First of all you have to bend down and suck it :). I Hope It Helped. TROLL.
When was fractional distillation first used in the oil industry?
No, fractional distillation was used to make brandy, whisky, perfumes, etc. long before there was an oil industry. However in those cases the mixture being distilled usually only had 2 or 3 fractions to separate, whereas crude oil has dozens.
