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

What does separate the mixture of mustard oil and kerosene oil?
Mustard oil and kerosene oil can be separated by distillation. Since they have different boiling points, heating the mixture will cause the kerosene oil to vaporize first, leaving the mustard oil behind. The vapors of kerosene oil can then be condensed back into a liquid form.
Does kerosene oil dissolve in water?
No, kerosene oil does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance. Water is a polar solvent and cannot easily mix or dissolve nonpolar substances like kerosene oil.
What is more viscous kerosene or heavy fuel oil?
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
What are the source of kerosene?
Kerosene is typically derived from the refining of crude oil. It is a byproduct of the distillation process that separates crude oil into various components based on their boiling points. Additionally, kerosene can also be produced from the refining of shale oil and through the processing of certain types of coal.
Which mineral is kerosene made from?
Kerosene is not made from a mineral, it is an organic compound made from crude oil
What happens when you mix coconut oil and kerosene?
No, coconut oil do not dissolve in kerosene
What does separate the mixture of mustard oil and kerosene oil?

What was kerosene for in 1849?
kerosene is a thin oil that was used in 1849 to light oil fuled lamps.
Can you mix kerosene and home heating oil in an oil furnace?
Kerosene and home heating oil can be mixed in a oil furnace. Kerosene is thinner than heating oil. Mixed together will make the furnace burn cleaner.
Which has higher ignition temperature kerosene oil or wood?
kerosene
Does kerosene oil dissolve in water?
No, kerosene oil does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance. Water is a polar solvent and cannot easily mix or dissolve nonpolar substances like kerosene oil.
What can you put in the kerosene to get rid of the smell in a kerosene heater?
What is the easiest method of removal of Aromatic compounds in Kerosene Oil?
What oil is used in a portable oil heater?
Kerosene
Is K1 kerosene the same as 1 heating oil and can K1 be used in a heating oil stove?
Kerosene and heating oil are not the same. Make sure you use clear kerosene if you aren't venting out of a chimney - for example a space heater. Regular kerosene has a red dye that can be toxic
What is more viscous kerosene or heavy fuel oil?
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
Can you mix kerosene with mustard oil?
yes
Do things float on kerosene more than oil?
No, things do not float more on kerosene than oil because both kerosene and oil have similar densities. In general, objects will float on a liquid if their density is lower than that of the liquid.
