The longest hydrocarbons have very high boiling points. They leave the column as a hot liquid called bitumen. Shorter hydrocarbon molecules have weaker intermolecular forces and lower boiling ...

In this video, Fran Scott explains fractional distillation - the separation of crude oil into fractions. Crude oil is a finite resource; petrol and other fuels are produced from it using ...

The most common method used is fractional distillation, which separates crude oil into different petroleum components within a column based on their boiling points. The heat and water-intensive ...

The process of fractional distillation in refining crude oil into gasoline is detailed, highlighting the importance of boiling points of different hydrocarbons. The film also relates these ...
