Question

Study the following table.

	Fraction	Number of Carbon	Temperature range
$\left(1\right)$	Gases	$C_1$ to $C_4$	$298$K
$\left(2\right)$	Petrol	$C_5$ to $C_{10}$	$303$K to $393$K
$\left(3\right)$	Naphtha	$C_8$ to $C_{10}$	$393$K to $453$ K
$\left(4\right)$	Kerosene	$C_{12}$ to $C_{15}$	$453$K to $533$K
$\left(5\right)$	Diesel	$C_{15}$ to $C_{18}$	$533$K to $613$ K
$\left(6\right)$	Lubricating oil	$C_{16}$ to $C_{20}$	Above $613$K

The table shows the products obtained by fractional distillation of petroleum and temperature range. From this give the right order of the product obtained?

• A. Naphtha, Kerosene, Petrol, Diesel
• B. Diesel, Kerosene, Naphtha, Petrol
• C. Kerosene, Petrol, Diesel, Naphtha
• D. Petrol, Naphtha, Kerosene, Diesel

Answer 1

The correct option is D Petrol, Naphtha, Kerosene, Diesel

The right order of the product obtained is Petrol, Naphtha, Kerosene, Diesel
Petrol is obtained in the temperature range of 303K to 393K.
Naphtha is obtained in the temperature range 393K to 453 K.
Kerosene is obtained in the temperature range of 453K to 533K.
Diesel is obtained in the temperature range 533K to 613 K.
