recall that crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons
describe how the process of fractional distillation can be used
to separate the hydrocarbons in crude oil into the fractions
refinery gases, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil and
bitumen
describe the physical properties and uses of the main
fractions
recall that fractional distillation of crude oil produces more
long-chain and fewer short-chain hydrocarbons than required
How did it get there?Put these sentences into the right
order:
Millions of tiny animals lived in the seasThe pressure and heat
of the rocks turned the dead animals into oilAs the dead animals
decayed they were covered with thick layers of mud and sand
(sediment)When the animals died their bodies fell to the bottom of
the seaThe layers of mud slowly changed into layers of rock
How did it get there?Why didnt the plant material rot away?
Why do we find oil wells under both land and sea?
Oil is a fossil fuel remains of plants and animals that lived
millions of years ago.Non-renewable
