How is it possible to increase the yield of light hydrocarbons from crude petroleum?
Increasing the yield of light hydrocarbons in crude petroleum is only possible by refining the petroleum in a huge chemical plant, so you will not be able to do it in your home. The refining process itself is very complicated: crude oil is separated into different fractions by distillation which are later treated further to convert them into new compound mixtures.
What is the natural form of oil?
The natural form of oil is called crude oil. Oil is developed from once living organisms that were transformed over geologic time into hydrocarbons from heat and pressure as the organisms were being buried and lithified. Straight from the earth, crude oil contains hydrocarbons plus small amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, salt, water, and trace amounts of certain metals. Oil is found primarily in sedimentary rocks including limestone, sandstone, and shale. Crude oil is found in varying viscosities (thickness) depending on variabilities in the environment in which it was formed. The types and thickness of oil is determined by the number of carbon atoms that make up the hydrocarbon chain molecule. The more carbon atoms the thicker the oil. Oil refineries, using heating and distillation processes, break up long-chain hydrocarbons and separate crude oil into gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, lubricating oils, waxes and asphalt. After further processing at petrochemical plants, crude oil can be converted to fertilizer and plastics. Note that "bedrock" is the solid rock that underlies loose materials such as dirt, clay, sand, and gravel on the surface of the ground. Oil is ALWAYS found below bedrock. Oil cannot be found at any depth below about 30,000 feet. Large oil/gas discoveries have been found at just a few hundred feet in Appalachia, whereas offshore drilling prospects in say the gulf coast could reach depths of 20,000 feet or more. And this whole process of oil formation is classified into two, the biogenic process and abiogenic process. Biogenic meaning formation from decomposition of dead and decayed matter (organically formed), while Abiogenic is the formation from deposited minerals gotten from the earth itself (inorganically formed).
Briefly describe the significance of petroleum and find out the places in India where crude petroleum is refind?
petroleum could be found in differnent places like in India America and in nigeria Africa Asia and other some many places and county you can used petroleum for diffrent things such as for vaseline well it's made out of crude oil another name for petroleum is crude oil and black oil.. the significant of crude oil is that it could be used to make anything in the world like almost 90 percent of the things i the world are made out of crude oil see crude oil is the best things that could help humans see how our environment has helped us a lot and not harm us....
How many crude oil refineries in India?
11 working
Does Canada have more crude oil than the US?
Yes
What is the difference between hydrocarbons and crude oil?
Crude oil is a specific type of hydrocarbon, derived from organic matter buried deep underground and formed over millions of years. Hydrocarbons, on the other hand, refer to a broader class of compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon atoms that can be found in various forms both naturally and synthetically. Thus, while crude oil is a natural source of hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons can exist in different forms beyond crude oil.
Is crude oil a mixture of several elements?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds, mainly hydrocarbons and derivatives of hydrocarbons.
What hydrocarbons is crude oil a mixture of?
itsmadeoflotsofhydrocarbens
What the def of crude oil?
a mixture of hydrocarbons
What does it involve fractional distillation of crude oil?
This is the separation of crude oil components based on the differences between boiling point temperatures.
What is the same about all the compounds in crude oil?
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
Compounds found in crude oil are called?
Hydrocarbons.
How do you separate crude oil from water?
Let the water boil. After a while all you will see is the crude oil. cude oil is made up of lots of difrent substances most of thesee are chemiclas called hydrocarbons .to separte cude oil you boil the water this works because each hydrocarbon had a diffrent boiling point when this happens the oil particals allmost melts away from eachother this prosees is called separatesion
Is crude oil a mixture?
Yes, crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. It also contains small amounts of sulfur, nitrogen, and other elements. The composition of crude oil can vary depending on the location and geological formation where it is extracted.
Composition of hydrocarbons in crude oil?
Crude oil has oxygen, carbon dioxide and gastro hemus in it.
Is hydrocarbons involved in green house effect?
no. hydrocarbons make up crude oil and in combustion they are burnt to make CO2
Are unsaturated hydrocarbons a by-product of crude oil refining?
Yes, it is possible.
