It is actually a chemical change. Known as Catalytic Cracking, it takes crude oil apart into the different components, and cannot be put back together again.
The physical property commonly used in the separation of crude oil is boiling point. Different components in crude oil have varying boiling points, allowing them to be separated through processes such as distillation or fractional distillation based on their boiling points.
Crude oil can be separated based on its boiling point range, a property called volatility. This separation is done through a process called fractional distillation, where the crude oil is heated to separate different components based on their boiling points.
Difference in the boiling points among different byproducts of crude oil is used to separate out each component from a mixture. Fractional distillation is used to carry out this process. This method can also be used to purify water and acetone from a mixture.
Yes, crude oil contains various fractions with different viscosities. Some fractions, such as light crude oil, have low viscosity, while others, such as heavy crude oil, have high viscosity. The viscosity of crude oil can affect its flow characteristics and processing requirements.
A standard barrel of crude oil is equivalent to 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters.

The processes used to obtain fractions from crude oil are called distillation and fractional distillation. Distillation involves heating the crude oil to separate it into different components based on their boiling points, while fractional distillation further refines the process by separating the components into more specific fractions.
physical change
Yes. Oil is a mixture so physical methods are appropriate. Fractional distillation is the physical process used in oil refineries to separate the oil into different, saleable parts.
Crude oil is crude..
Yes, crude oil can burn. When ignited, it releases energy in the form of heat and light through combustion. However, burning crude oil releases pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and climate change.
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
Distillation is the separation of different fractions of a component. This is usually done by heating the component and removing the fractions based upon their boiling points. An example of this could be distillation (or fractionation) of crude oil into different fractions such as heating oil, diesel, jet fuel, naphtha (a component of gasoline), or asphalt. All of these components have specific boiling points and therefore their separation from the crude oil can be closely controlled.
Crude oil IS oil so you don't separate oil from it. You do refine crude oil, separateing parts of it that are used for a variety of purposes. This is usually done by fractional distillation. You heat the crude oil so that the parts with higher boiling points become vapors, the vapors are taken to condensers at different temperatures so materials with different boiling points are condensed into different channels and moved for furhter processing. Portions that do not convert to vapor have very high boiling points and generally are the larger molecules. These "bottoms" hare broken into lighter chemicals in fractionation columns.
Crude Oil is hydrocarbon and it is mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
Zero. A barrel or crude oil contains... crude oil.
Physical ... it's only a state change. Cool it and it reverts to its old condition.
