"Petroleum" products are distilled from crude oil, so what comes out of the ground is crude oil.
Oil in its natural state is called crude oil. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons that are found underground and is the raw material for producing various petroleum products.
One possible (exploratory) reason is that alkenes are less stable, and in the process of formation of crude oil they get converted to aromatics, if present. Note that I'm not too sure whether this is the primary reason.
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.
Firstly the long chains of molecules are broken down in a process known as cracking, this is when the crude oil is passed over a catalist and broken down into smaller more usable substances. These are then heated and distilled into fractions and are separated into catergories of volatility. This is known as fractional distilation. It is also known as cracking.
A crude oil refinery is a factory. The factory takes the crude oil, and turns it into useful products, like gasoline.
This is typically called a refinery.
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.
Crude oil is separated into useful substances through a process called fractional distillation. This involves heating the crude oil to high temperatures in a fractionating column, which separates the mixture into different fractions based on their boiling points. Each fraction can then be further processed to obtain useful products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Sounds a bit like crude oil...
Purifies the crude oil coming in to be useful for Gasoline, Diesel, etc.
crude oil is needed because it is useful to use in home etc..........
Crude oil in its natural state is not very useful because it contains impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and metals that need to be removed before it can be turned into usable products like gasoline, diesel fuel, and plastics. Additionally, crude oil needs to be refined to separate it into different components with specific properties.
Because Australian crude is not suitable for some of the products that come from crude oil.
Two products distilled from crude oil are gasoline and diesel fuel. These products are commonly used as fuels for vehicles and machinery.
