Fractions of crude petroleum can be obtained by using _?
Correct answer: B. Fractional distillation
- A. Destructive distillation
- B. Fractional distillation
- C. Vacuum distillation
- D. Dry distillation
Explanation
Fractional distillation is the industrial process used to separate crude oil into its various components, or fractions. This process works because the different hydrocarbons in the crude oil have different boiling points, allowing them to be separated as they vaporize and condense at different temperatures in a fractionating column.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
