, Crude oil is a complex___________ of hydrocarbons of various molecular sizes. - ANSWER: mixture
Fractional distillation is used extensively in petroleum refining to separate crude oil into various
________? - ANSWER: fractions
Effective separation can be achieved by using a long vertical column(___________ or ______)
attached to the distillation vessel. - ANSWER: Fractionating column or tower
What is the first step to obtain basic ingredients from crude oil for making polymers? - ANSWER:
Fractional distillation
Different hydrocarbons in crude oil have _________________________ due to different molecular
sizes, which means they can be separated by distillation. - ANSWER: different boiling points
On the fractionating column, what has the lowest boiling point and lowest density, and what is the
highest boiling point and density? - ANSWER: Gas-lowest
Asphalt-highest
What is the boiling point and carbon atoms per molecule of the fraction Naphtha? - ANSWER: boiling

Cracking
Reforming (unification)
Alteration
Refinery is a combination of all of these processes.
what speed up processes eventually to be recycled? - ANSWER: catalysts
What is the process that breaks down complex or heavy hydrocarbons into simpler or lighter ones by
the breaking of C-C and/or C-H bonds using the combinations of heat, catalysts, and pressure? -
ANSWER: Cracking
