===About the Fractional Distillation of Crude Oil===: [[Crude Oil]] is [[Separating Mixtures|separated]] using '''fractional distillation'''.: '''Fractional distillation''' is used to separate the different '''fractions''' of [[Crude Oil|crude oil]] which each have different [[Boiling Point|boiling points]].
: '''Fractional Distillation''' relies on the different [[Boiling Point|boiling points]] of [[liquid]]s. By [[heating]] all [[liquid]]s beyond their [[Boiling Point]] they can be turned into a [[gas]]. Each [[gas]] can then be cooled and [[condensing|condensed]] in tubes kept just below the [[Boiling Point|boiling point]] of each fraction.
