Question

By what process is petroleum refined?
A) Fractional distillation B) Destructive distillation C) Distillation D) All of the above

Answer 1

hey,fractional distillation refinds the petroleum.it divides two missicble liquids like petrol from water,kerosene from water etc..plz mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

The process of separating the various components of petroleum from one another is known as the refining of petroleum. This is done by a process called fractional distillation which is based on the fact that the different components of petroleum have distinctly different boiling points.

Explanation:

Crude oil is separated into fractions by fractional distillation. The fractions at the top of the fractionating column have lower boiling points than the fractions at the bottom. All of the fractions are processed further in other refining units.

Thus Option A is correct.
