Fractional distilation Flashcards
1
Q
What does rely on
A
It relies on the boiling points of the compounds
2
Q
What does the properties of the fraction depend on
A
The size of the hydrocarbon chains
3
Q
Short chains are:
A
Very flammable
Have low boiling points
Highly volatile (tend to turn into gases)
They have a low viscosity (they flow easily)
Long chain are the opposite of these
4
Q
What is pumped through the bottom?
A
Crude oil
5
Q
Are the chain smaller/longer at the top of the fractional distillation
A
They`re smaller
