Unless you own a cargo ship and run it on crude oil - some operators do - it has to be separated into fractions before it's usable.

Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
Can you separate oil?
Crude oil is readily separated into fractions one of which is gasoline. Lubricating oil is much more difficult.
How can crude oil be separated into its components?
It is separated by fractional distillation into the different components.
How crude oil is separated into useful fraction?
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
Why can crude oil be separated using fractional distillation?
The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.
Explain how the different chemical compounds in crude oil are separated?
Crude oil is distilled, producing different fractions at different temperatures.
What is used to separate different fractions in crude oil?
Typically they are separated in a fractional distillation tower.
How is crude oil separated into different fractions?
you use fractional distillation! basically, all the different substances in crude oil have different boiling points, and the column which is used to do fractional distillation has stages with different temperatures. when the substance reaches its boiling point temperature in the column, it turns into liquid and settles there, away from other fuels.
Process of separating crute oil into fractions?
Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation in an oil refinery.
How is underground oil used?
It is brought to the surface and taken to an oil refinery where the different components are separated, like heating oil, diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel. These are different fractions of the crude oil from the well.
Is crude oil compound or mixture?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds called hydrocarbons. Many useful materials can be produced from crude oil. It can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation, and some of these can be used as fuels. Unfortunately, there are environmental consequences when fossil fuels such as crude oil and its products are used.
Is crude oil a substance?
Crude oil is a mixture of short to long chain hydrocarbons. It has to be separated into many different fractions to become usable. It may also contain mineral impurities due to it being underground
Can you separate oil?
Crude oil is readily separated into fractions one of which is gasoline. Lubricating oil is much more difficult.
How can crude oil be separated into its components?
It is separated by fractional distillation into the different components.
What is the factory where crude oil is separated?
Crude oil is separated in an oil refinery which makes a bunch of different byproducts such as airplane gas, kerosene, and alot more. -cooleye101
What is a process in which crude oil can be separated?
Ditillation at different temperatures
