MCQ
Crude oil is purified using fractional distillation process. This method works on the principle of:
  • A
    Differences in the masses of the components
  • B
    Differences in the volumes of the components
  • C
    Differences in the boiling points of the components
  • D
    Their solubility in water

Answer

  1.  Differences in the boiling points of the components

Explanation:

The different hydrocarbon components of crude oil are called fractions.

The fractions are separated from one another using a process called fractional distillation.

This process is based on the principle that different substances boil at different temperatures.
