Question

Components of petroleum are separated using a technique called fractional distillation.

Answer 1

Answer: Here's your answer!!!!

Explanation:The components of petroleum is separated using fractional distillation because all the components have different boiling points.

The principle of fractional distillation is the difference in the boinling points of the miscible liquid.

Hope it helps!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Fractional distillation is the process of separation of a mixture of two or more miscible liquids having very close boiling points (differing less than 25°C). Fractionating columns are used for distillation in this technique.

Importance:

a. It is useful in obtaining petroleum products from crude oil.

b. It is also useful in separating different components of air.
