Q

Explain how fractional distillation can be used to separate crude oil.

A

1- Different hydrocarbons have different oiling points so crude oil can be separated into fractions
2- The crude oil is heated and vaporised and passed into the fractioning column
3- The fractioning column is hotter at the bottom and cooler at the top
4- The vapour rises and the hydrocarbon condenses when it reaches it’s boiling point.
