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

8.2.1 (iv) Fractional Distillation of Crude Oil By Blake Turner – Year 11 Fractional Distillation of Crude Oil Introduction Crude oil is the term for "unprocessed" oil‚ the stuff that comes out of the ground. It is also known as petroleum. Crude oil is a fossil fuel‚ meaning that it was made naturally from decaying plants and animals living in ancient seas millions of years ago -- most places you can find crude oil were once sea beds. Crude oils vary in colour‚ from clear to tar-black‚

REFINING PETROLEUM The crude oil obtained from earth’s crust needs to be refined before using it. It is done by a method called fractional distillation which involves separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points. The refining is done by changing the liquid into its gaseous state and then cooling the gaseous mixture at controlled temperatures such that at a time only one of the vapours having boiling point I liquefies first. This is generally done by a special tower called

Librojo‚ Shaun Therence Mabunay and Carissa Mae Magdaleno 3Bio3‚ Department of Biology‚College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract G.S.M. Blue is composed primarily of water‚ sugar cane alcohol with essences of juniper berries and other botanicals with traces of impurities and flavourings and it has 32.5 percent alcohol by volume (65 proof). The experiment aimed to separate its

Title: Distillation of an Ethanol Using Fractional Distillation Lab Report Abstract: This experiment aimed to separate the components of a mixture using Fractional Distillation. A volume of 28.0mL of a mixture including ethanol was heated until the temperature reached 78.0 C. Approximately 1.0mL of distillate was collected between 78.0 – 84.0 C. Percent composition by weight of the 1.0mL sample was determined to be 95% ethanol. By careful and accurate techniques‚ a high percent composition

Experiment 2: Fractional Distillation of a Mixture of Two Unknowns Background: Boiling is a process familiar to anyone who has cooked pasta or brewed tea. As heat is applied to a pan of water‚ the temperature of the water increases until it reaches 100°C (212°F). At this temperature‚ additional heat causes the water to bubble vigorously as the liquid water is converted into gaseous water‚ or steam. Most organic liquids will behave in a similar fashion. On heating‚ the temperature of the liquid

Report Simple and Fractional Distillation Unknown # 2 Purpose In this experiment we aim to demonstrate that we can separate two volatile compounds from a mixture due to the different chemical properties of each compound. We will accomplish this by a separation procedure known as distillation‚ which relies on each compound having a distinct and separate boiling point. Our pure products will be analyzed with gas chromatography to determine the success of the distillation. Procedures The

Fractional Distillation of an Ethanol- water Mixture Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to understand the process of distilling a solution. Thesolution of 50/50 ethanol-water was used in the experiment. Using fractional distillationapparatus ethanol-water mixture was separated. The fractional use of copper sponge wasused in distillation process which created the heat exchange area between the vapor of ethanol and liquid water. The fractional distillation process yield 9.5 ml of ethanol

What is crude oil? Crude oil is a naturally occurring liquid found inside certain rocks trapped beneath the Earth’s crust. It is dark and sticky‚ classified as a hydrocarbon‚ or rather mixture of hydrocarbons. We separate them in order to make something useful during a process called fractional distillation. Since it is highly flammable and can be burned to make energy‚ it is used as a major fuel source on our planet. This oil is a fossil fuel‚ what means that there is a limited supply
