what is crude oil
a mixture of hydrocarbons, compounds of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C)
why does crude oil boil over a large range of temperatures
the different hydrocarbons in it come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes
why do you need to separate crude oil into fractions which contain similarly used molecules
most of the hydrocarbons are useful, but for different purposes
what is each fraction of crude oil
a mixture of similar hydrocarbons with similar boiling points
what happens to the fractions as the boiling points increase
they get darker in colour they get more viscous
what is the boiling point of refinery gases
low
what is the molecular mass of refinery gases
low
what is the colour of refinery gases
light (colourless)
what is the viscosity of refinery gases
low
what is the use of refinery gases
fuel for home cooking (and home heating)
what is the boiling point of gasoline
low but higher than refinery gases
what is the molecular mass of gasoline
low but higher than refinery gases
what is the colour of gasoline
light but darker than refinery gases (pale yellow)
what is the viscosity of gasoline
low but higher than refinery gases
what is the use of gasoline
fuel for cars
what is the boiling point of kerosene
on the highest end of low as is higher than refinery gases and gasoline
what is the molecular mass of kerosene
on the highest end of low is higher than refinery gases and gasoline
what is the colour of kerosene
darker than gasoline
what is the viscosity of kerosene
on the highest end of low as is higher than refinery gases and gasoline
what is the use of kerosene
fuel for aircraft (and industrial heating)
what is the boiling point of diesel
on the lowest end of high as is higher than refinery gases, gasoline and kerosene
what is the molecular mass of diesel
on the lowest end of high as is higher than refinery gases, gasoline and kerosene
what is the colour of diesel
darker than kerosene (dark yellow)
what is the use of diesel
fuel for trains (and trucks)
