Crude Oil Crude oil is formed through a long process which took place millions of years ago. Huge numbers of microscopic animals and plants died and fell to the bottom of the sea‚ which is then covered by mud sediments. These mud sediments got buried by more of them‚ and then started to change into rock‚ which created pressure and increased temperature. This resulted in the deceased plants and animals to heat up and slowly turned into fossils which then turns into crude oil. Since oil is less dense

Crude oil is a naturally occurring‚ unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits. It is a fossil fuel‚ meaning that it was made naturally from decaying plants and animals. Crude oils vary in color‚ from clear to tar-black‚ and in viscosity‚ from water to almost solid. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline‚ diesel and various forms of petrochemicals and as such‚ are a useful starting point for many different substances. Crude oil is also a naturally

Heather Myers iLab‚ Week #6 CRUDE OIL DISTILLATION Introduction The purpose of this lab is to distill crude oil and learn how the chemical properties influence the temperature. The distillation of a substance is based on the boiling points. When the crude oil is brought to a boil‚ at 275°C‚ the gasoline and kerosene are distilled‚ but the lubricant remains part of the crude oil. Procedure 1. From the Equipment menu‚ select Distillation Equipment and obtain a Round Bottom Flask (100 ml). 2. Select

Bleaching of crude palm oil (CPO) Bleaching of crude palm oil will be carried out using a mass ratio of 1 synthesized adsorbent to 11 CPO. The CPO in bottle is well shaken before pouring into beaker with an amount of 110 grams. Magnetic stirrer is put into the beaker contains CPO and continuously stirred until it reaches 100 °C. After that‚ 6 drops of phosphoric acid is added into CPO followed by the addition of 10 grams synthesized adsorbent. The adsorbent must be poured slowly to ensure it mixed

And the global appetite for oil-based fuels makes the environment‚ or indigenous people‚ only a secondary consideration in the oil business. To cap it all‚ most oil production is from politically unstable regions of the world so that our foreign policy cannot help but be warped by a need to secure our fuel supply. `q1Qq Put in that light‚ our willingness
