Oil is a combination of numerous hydrocarbons each with a unique boiling point. Each fractional hydrocarbon may therefore be evaporated (by boiling) and condensed (by cooling) resulting in a purer hydrocarbon i.e. gasoline.
Petroleum is separated by distillation.
Fractional distillation
Petroleum is a mixture of various useful constituents and cannot be used directly,so to use it we have to seperate petroleum by a method called fractional distillation of petroleum.
Distillation is used frequently.
Yes, it is correct.
Petroleum is separated by distillation.
Fractional Distillation from petroleum
It is called fractional distillation.
Fractional distillation is used to separate the components of petroleum. Petrol (gasoline) evaporates at a lower temperature than kerosene evaporates at.
Fractional distillation
You would use simple distillation when the two products you are trying to separate have large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is needed when the two products have very close boiling points (like Hexane and toluene). In petroleum refining, the word "fractionation", not "fractional distillation" is used, often interchangeably with "distillation". When we have a crude mixture of different compounds which have very minor difference in their boiling points and cannot be separated simple distillation, then fractional distillation is used. Differenciation of components of petroleum is done by this process
cause it goes upand down. thats how it works

Fractional distillation is used to separe the components of a liquid.
Fractional distillation is used to separate the components of petroleum based on their boiling points. This process involves heating crude oil to its boiling point and then collecting the different fractions as they evaporate at different temperatures.
The process used to separate the components of petroleum is called fractional distillation. It involves heating crude oil to high temperatures and then condensing the vapors at different temperatures to separate them into various components, such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, based on their boiling points.
Petrol is gasoline and is refined by the process of fractional distillation, and petroleum is crude oil i.e. it is in it's raw form in a whole, before fractional distillation.
