1
Q

Define petroleum fraction

A

Mixture of hydrocarbons with similar chain length and boiling point range

2
Q

What happens to oil before fractional distillation happens?

A

It is preheated

3
Q

What happens after the oil has been preheated?

A

It is passed into the column

4
Q

How do different fractions condense?

A

Fractions condense at different heights

5
Q

What happens to the temperature as it goes up?

A

Temperature of column decreases upwards

6
Q

What does boiling point depend on?

A

Boiling point depends upon size of molecule

7
Q

How does size of molecule affect the van der waals forces between them?

A

The larger the molecule the larger the van der waal forces

8
Q

Where do small molecules condense?

A

Small molecules condense at lower temperatures

9
Q

Where do larger molecules condense?

A

Larger molecules condense at higher temperatures

10
Q

Where do similar molecules condense?

A

Similar molecules condense together

11
Q

What does separation depend upon?
