Key words for FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION:
1) . Process that separates hydrocarbons into crude oil.
2) . Separated into fractions.
3) . Happens in a fractionating column.
Steps for FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION:
1) . Crude oil is HEATED and EVAPORATES.
2) . Enters column as VAPOUR.
3) . LOWEST BOILING point reach the TOP, HIGHEST BOILING points stay at the BOTTOM.
