Question

Name the gaseous product of the fractional distillation of crude oil.

Answer 1

Fractional distillation: It is a process through which the components of crude oil are separated into usable products. The fractional distillation of petroleum is called refining, and it depends on the fact that each compound of petroleum has a different boiling temperature.

Explanation: The fractional distillation of crude oil gives several products in liquid and gaseous forms. The products that are in the gaseous form include petroleum gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

Therefore, the gaseous product is LPG.
