Oil and Petroleum

Yes, plastic bags are typically made from petroleum, which is a non-renewable fossil fuel. The process involves extracting key components from petroleum to create polymers that are used in the production of plastic bags.

Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).

Crude oil. and this comes in different grades.

Crude oil is organic remains of plants and animals Buried long ago. The organic material over a long period of time changes to different length of hydrocarbons. Crude oil is unrefined petroleum. The way to get crude oil through drilling. The exploration and finally the drilling process are complex and require investments and skill.

Benzene content in crude oil can vary widely depending on the source. On average, crude oil contains about 0.1-3% benzene by weight. Refining processes can help to remove benzene from crude oil to meet regulatory standards for final products.

Yes - all liquids can with the exception of Liquid Helium.

Petrol is obtained from crude oil by fractional distillation and subsequent mixing of some of the fractions to obtain the desired properties. There are seasonal differences in petrol to facilitate vehicle operation under different climactic conditions. Some of the fractions for the petrol may be obtained by "cracking" higher molecular weight fractions to lower molecular weights. Some impurities, like sulfur, and some unsaturation of the fraction may be removed by treatment with hydrogen which replaces the impurity on the hydrocarbon molecule or adds hydrogen to the molecule to make it more stable. Some of the fractions may be treated to rearrange some of the molecules to make a more desireable product. It is a complex process that is highly dependant on the crude source, desired products, time of year, and the configuration of the refinery. From the same crude may come: fractions for making plastics, rubber, heating oil, diesel and gasoline fuels, lpg fuel, lubricants, solvents, petroleum coke, elemental sulfur, asphalt, bunker fuel oil, etc.

Distillation of crude oil can produce various fractions such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. These fractions have different boiling points and can be further refined for specific applications.

The term specific gravity means density in comparison to that of water. Density is weight divided by volume. So to get the volume, pour the oil into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup (same principle). To get the weight, use a scale (a chemist would use a triple beam balance). Once you have the density you can divide it by the density of water, and the result is the specific gravity.

Oil is the world economy's most important source of energy and is, therefore, critical to economic growth. Its value is driven by demand for petroleum products, particularly in the transportation sector. Petroleum products power virtually all motor vehicles, aircraft, marine vessels, and trains around the globe. In total, products derived from oil, such as motor gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and heating oil, supply nearly 40 percent of the energy consumed by households, businesses, and manufacturers worldwide.

Some fuels made from petroleum include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. These fuels are derived from crude oil through the refining process and are used for transportation, heating, and various industrial purposes.

Crude oil is distilled to separate it into different components based on their boiling points. This process, also known as fractional distillation, allows for the extraction of valuable products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. By distilling crude oil, refineries can produce a range of products to meet various market demands.

Petroleum is a versatile energy source that provides power for transportation, electricity generation, and heating. It also serves as a feedstock for the production of various products such as plastics, medicines, and fertilizers. Additionally, the petroleum industry contributes significantly to job creation and economic growth in many countries.

Methanol is not typically found in crude oil in significant amounts. It is more commonly produced synthetically or as a byproduct of natural gas processing.

When petrol is burned, it undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy. Small amounts of other pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides may also be produced depending on the combustion conditions.

Other names for petroleum include crude oil, fossil fuel, and black gold.

STP originally stood for "Scientifically Treated Petroleum" when it was introduced in the 1950s.

Crude oil is heated in a furnace and then enters a fractional distillation column where it is separated into different fractions based on their boiling points. As the temperature decreases along the column, the fractions with lower boiling points rise to the top and are collected at different levels. This process allows for the separation of various products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and asphalt.

It's called refining the petroleum (occurring at refineries). This process is used in order to separate the crude oil into products such as diesel fuel, heating oil, liquified petroleum gas, kerosene, gasoline, or asphalt base.

No, petroleum is a naturally occurring fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals buried deep underground. While humans extract and refine petroleum for use, it is not man-made.

it is a physical change

Yes, because the oil is less dense than the sea water.
