Question

What are the fractions obtained by fractional distillation of petroleum? Write two uses of each.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fractional distillation is used in oil refineries (Figure 5.41) to separate the complex mixture into fractions that contain similar boiling points and therefore similar molecular weights and properties. Gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and jet fuel are some of the different fractions produced by an oil refinery.
