Q

-What does fractional distillation do
-Explain how fractional distillation works 4 points

A

separate hydrocarbons in crude oil into fractions (w/ similar no. of carbon atom)
-Vaporise oil till it turns to gas- gases enter fractionating column
-in column, there is a temp gradient, Hot —> Cool
-longer hydrocarbons = higher boiling points. Condense into liquid + drain out early- near bottom.
Shorter hydrocarbons = lower b.p. Condense + drain out later, near top
-eventually Crude oil mixture separated into fractions w/ similar carbon atom no. so similar bp’s
