Oil and Petroleum

The most viscous fraction in crude oil is the residue left over after refining, known as bitumen or heavy oil. It is thick and heavy, with a high viscosity due to its high content of long-chain hydrocarbons.

the Melting point depends on different types of Crude oil.. Crude oils are of different types ..so there is no specific Boiling point

Kerosene can be separated from crude oil through a process known as fractional distillation. During this process, crude oil is heated in a fractional distillation column, and the different components of the oil vaporize at different temperatures. Kerosene has a boiling point that is lower than most other components in crude oil, allowing it to be collected and separated from the other fractions.

Actually, oil can be slightly compressible. As an oil field is produced and the pressure declines, the oil within the oil deposit will expand.

Most liquids, like water, are slightly compressible. This is an important property in the evaluation of oil fields and well testing.

Over time, geological processes such as tectonic plate movement, erosion, and uplift can cause sedimentary rocks containing organic materials to be exposed at the Earth's surface. This exposes the deposits to oxidation and weathering, which break down the organic compounds, preventing them from being preserved as crude oil and gas.

Its made of petroleum and th elements in petroleum are carbon and hydrogen make up 90%. The other elements are nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur

Solar energy-but also the least power! Solar energy. All other fuel sources are responsible for pollution, which has dramatically increased in the last 35 years, see related links. Then why aren't we using more sun power and less of these other fuels. It has to do with convenience and cost. We can generate solar power only during the day, so we need an economic means to store the energy to use it whenever we need it. Solar energy seems to be a partial solution to energy needs.

Crude oil can be separated into its components through a process called fractional distillation. This involves heating the crude oil to a specific temperature where different hydrocarbons in the mixture evaporate at different rates due to their varying boiling points, allowing them to be collected separately as they condense back into liquid form.

Tetraethyl lead was historically used in petrol as an octane booster to prevent engine knocking and improve performance. However, it is highly toxic and has harmful environmental effects, leading to its phase-out in many countries in favor of other additives like ethanol or MTBE.

refinery. i think. i dont know, i found it somewhere, but if you wanna make sure, and you are probably doing your science worksheet like me, you might want to look somewhere else. just sayin. hey, do i talk a lot? i know im not talking, im typing, but still?

Petrol can ignite and create a fireball if exposed to an open flame in an open container due to its flammable nature. However, it is unlikely to explode like a bomb unless it is vaporized and ignites in a confined space with a high concentration of fuel vapor. It is important to handle petrol with care and avoid exposing it to sources of ignition.

Nearly all hydrocarbons are derived from petroleum.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contains either mostly propane, mostly butane, or a combination that is mostly propane and butane in an approximately 3-to-2 mixture. Propane is an alkane, C3H8. Butane is also an alkane, C4H10. A link can be found below.

The basic process of refining crude oil into products is a physical separation, not a chemical reaction. A distillation column (also called pipestill) separates different components in the crude oil based on their differences in boiling point. No chemical equation is appropriate because there is (almost) no chemical reaction i.e. there is no change to the chemical bonds.

I say 'almost' because there is a relatively small number of chemical reactions (e.g. chloride ions attacking steel pipework; thermal cracking of long-chain hydrocarbons). However, these chemical reactions are undesirable and are minimised as far as possible.

Oils collected at different temperatures produce different oils, and distillate fuels.

Gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricating oils, solvents are all collected at different specific temperatures.

Yes, petroleum sources of energy are finite and will eventually run out. However, estimates of when this will happen vary. As renewable energy sources become more prevalent and technology advances, the need for petroleum may decrease.

Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons that can be used to produce monomers, which are small molecules that can be linked together to form polymers. Monomers derived from crude oil are used in the production of various synthetic materials like plastics and adhesives.

Yes, petroleum jelly is a compound. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, often used for its moisturizing properties.

Crude oil, which is the primary component of petroleum, is refined in a process known as fractional distillation. During this process, the crude oil is heated to different temperatures in order to separate it into various components with different boiling points. Gasoline, which is a lighter component with a lower boiling point, is collected as one of the main products of the refining process.

Yes it is.

Don't worry though, it is only a potential fire hazard if you put it on other burnable materials such as wood, paper or my favourite choice of cotton wool and then it will make an excellent starter for any fire. The reason for this is that Vaseline isn't good at burning on its own, it needs something to act as a wick in the same way as a candle works.

Oil is considered a non-renewable resource because it takes millions of years for organic matter to decompose and be transformed into oil. Once we extract and use oil, it cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. This contrasts with renewable resources, such as solar or wind energy, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale.

Crude oil is a mixture of different compounds, primarily hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons can vary in chain length and structure, leading to the wide range of products that can be derived from crude oil through refining processes.

It is used to make almost all products available today. The complete list of petroleum products contains about 6,000 products. Here are a few of them.

Kerosene can be separated from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. In this process, crude oil is heated to separate its components based on their boiling points. Kerosene, with a boiling point between 150-275°C, can be collected as a separate fraction during the distillation process.

Crude oil is not completely homogenous as it is a mixture of various hydrocarbons and other compounds that can vary in composition. However, it is generally considered to be homogeneous for practical purposes in the oil industry.
