ChemComm Unit 3A Test Review: Petroleum, What is it?

The job of an oil refinery is to

• transport the crude from the drill site
• separate crude into various types of fuel
• pump crude oil up to the surface
• mix separate types of fuel into crude

Distillation occurs where crude oil is separated into fuels by

• mixing it with corn starch and letting it settle
• putting it under intense pressure until it becomes solid
• heating it to different boiling points
• removing the sulfur particles from it

The top 2 crude oil producing US states are

• Michigan and California
• Alaska and Texas
• Florida and Washington
• Oklahoma and Kansas

How does petroleum form

• build up of layers of trees and leaves
• build up of once-living aquatic organisms underneath pressure and heat. 
• Build up of different rocks
• It's formed from gasses in the air

What is fractional distillation?

• a process used to separate crude oil

• a process used to burn up fuels

• a way to make different products

• how oil is extracted from the ground

Crude oil is made up of:

• Ethane

• Butane

• A mixture of different hydrocarbons

• Extremely large hydrocarbons which are broken up once extracted

Crude oil must be refined before it can be used as fuel. What does "refined" mean?

• Taxed

• Created

• Purified

• Burned
