Question

By which process we can get the various industrial products from petroleum?

• A. Pyrolysis
• B. Hydrolysis
• C. Fractional distillation
• D. Reduction

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fractional distillation

Fractional distillation is used to separate the mixtures in a sample in which one or more components can vaporize at different temperatures. By this method, we can separate components of a mixture having small differences in their boiling point. simple distillation can not be used here.

It is also used to get various industrial products like kerosene, diesel, gasoline, fuel oil, propane, butane, etc. from petroleum.
