Is motor oil heavier than gasoline?

Yes, motor oil is generally heavier than gasoline. Motor oil has a higher viscosity and density compared to gasoline, which allows it to provide better lubrication for engine components. While gasoline is designed to be lighter and more volatile for combustion, motor oil is formulated to withstand high temperatures and pressures within an engine.


Is gasoline lighter than motor oil?

Yes, gasoline is generally lighter than motor oil. Gasoline has a lower density, typically around 0.71 to 0.77 grams per milliliter, while motor oil usually has a density ranging from about 0.85 to 0.9 grams per milliliter. This difference in density means that gasoline will float on top of motor oil if the two are mixed.


What is lighter distillates than motor oil?

Lighter distillates than motor oil typically include substances like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel. These fuels are derived from crude oil but have lower boiling points and are more volatile than motor oil. They are used in various applications, from powering vehicles to heating and industrial processes. Additionally, lighter distillates have different chemical properties and combustion characteristics compared to heavier oils like motor oil.

Is making gasoline a chemical or physical change?

While isolating gasoline compounds from oil (fractional distillation) is a physical process, most gasoline is also chemically altered to provide a stable motor fuel. This is primarily by catalytic conversion.
