Where does crude oil originate from?
Although it is recognized that the original source of carbon and hydrogen was in the materials that made up the primordial Earth, it is generally accepted that these two elements have had to pass through an organic phase to be combined into the varied complex molecules recognized as crude oil.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
What is the number of the carbon hydrogen and sulfur atoms in a diesel molecule?
Pure diesel does not contain any sulfur atoms. The molecular statement for Diesel is C12H23, which means each molecule of diesel contains 12 Carbon atoms and 23 Hydrogen atoms. Sulfur shows up in diesel because it is in the crude oil originally and the cost of refining out all the sulfur from the diesel is very expensive.
Is polythene made from crude oil?
Yup! Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Poly(ethene)
How many gallons of crude are in 1 barrel of crude?
1 barrel of crude oil equals 42 US gallons of crude oil.
Why is crude oil known as crude?
Crude Oil is hydrocarbon and it is mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
What role does carbon play in the creation of crude oil?
Crude oil is a compound made up of Hydrocarbons (hydrogen and carbon), which are chemically bonded together.
What does crude oil contain?
Crude oil contains a mixture of hydrocarbons molecules
What is crude oil also known as?
Crude Oil is hydrocarbon and it is mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
What are the biological compounds of oil?
Crude oil compounds: Carbon, hydrogen, sulfur nitrogen, oxygen, metals, salts.
Why does crude Oil not dissolve in water?
Crude oil is a complex mixture of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It does not dissolve in water unless you add a detergent to break down and encapsulate the oil.
what chemical in crude oil is more volatile oxygen carbon hydrogen or nitrogen?
Crude oil contain compounds of O, C, H, N and not chemical elements.
What chemical elements make up crude oil?
The make-up of crude oil consists 84% carbon molecules,14% hydrogen, and the remaining consists of nitrogen, oxygen, and various metals.
Can you substitute oil for another ingrediant?
well there is a hydrogen based fuel in which the core element is hydrogen unlike crude oil which has carbon instead scientists plan to make it in about three years.
What things are made from crude oil?
Crude oil is mixture of many compounds. Most of the compounds are composed of hydrogen and carbon, so they are called hydrocarbons. Oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and various trace metals also can be found in crude oil. When there is significant concentrations of sulfur, the crude is considered sour crude. See links.
What does crude oil consist from?
1. crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with small amts of impurities. So in terms of elements, crude oil consist of Carbon and Hydrogen as the main components as well as traces of impurities such as sulphur, nitrogen ad oxygen containing compounds.
Is ammonia made from crude oil?
No. Ammonia is not present in crude oil. It is synthesized by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen.
