Why can crude oil be separated using fractional distillation?
Crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation because its different components have different boiling points. By heating the crude oil and allowing it to vaporize, then condensing the vapor at different temperatures, the various fractions (like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene) can be collected separately based on their boiling points.
What is The process of separation of different constituents of petroleum called?
Crude oil distillation is followed by the process of petroleum refining. There are many branches leading off into producing diesel, petrol, and the many products that result from the refining process.
What is oil called before its been refined?
Crude oil. and this comes in different grades.
What is the boiling point of crude oil?
Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with different boiling points. The boiling point of crude oil can vary depending on its composition, but typically falls within the range of 300°C to 400°C.
What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?
Heavy crude oil has a higher density and viscosity compared to light crude oil. Heavy crude oil also contains more impurities like sulfur and metals, which makes it more difficult and expensive to refine. Light crude oil is easier to extract, transport, and refine, making it more valuable in the market.
What is the major element in crude oil?
the constituents of crude oil are FEUL OIL,LPG, NAPHTHA,GASOLNE ETC
What are the major exports of Iraq?

What is the major export Venezuela?
Crude oil.
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.
What method of separation is used in the refinery to separate crude oil into its constituents such as petrol kerosene diesel?
Fractional distillation ( i think)
What is the major influence of crude oil prices?
A major influence of crude oil prices is the price of oil to export it from other countries. It also has to depend on the relationship countries have with each other.
What is oil refaining?
It's oil refining not refaining. Oil as it comes from the ground is called "crude oil." Crude oil contains many different constituents such as gasoline, motor oil, diesel oil, kerosene, other lubricating oils, propane, etc. Separating these different parts of the oil is called "cracking." Refining is putting crude oil in "cracking towers" where the different constituents are separated. Cracking towers are like tall tubes standing several stories high. in the bottom of the tube crude oil is heated and turned into vapor. As the heated vapor rises in the tube it get cooler and cooler. As it cools, the different constituents of the vapor turn back into liquid at different temperatures. There are buckets at different levels of the tube (different temperatures) to collect the different liquids.
