What physical property is used to separate crude oil into fractions?

Difference in the boiling points among different byproducts of crude oil is used to separate out each component from a mixture. Fractional distillation is used to carry out this process. This method can also be used to purify water and acetone from a mixture.


What physical property of hydrocarbons is used for fractional distillation?

If the hydrocarbons are in the liquid state then their differential boiling points are used in separation - fractional distillation. Some hydrocarbons are also separated by their differential solubility in some organic solvents. =)
