Petrochemical Industry

Chemical industries are defined as:

• Industries that produce electronics
• Industries that produce clothing
• Industries that produce chemicals or chemical products
• Industries that produce chemical weapons

Industrial chemistry is defined as:

• The branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of organic compounds.
• The branch of chemistry that deals with the study of chemical reactions in living organisms.
• The branch of chemistry that studies the properties and behavior of matter.
• The branch of chemistry that applies physical and chemical processes to transform raw materials into useful products.

What is the raw material of petrochemical industry:

• natural gas
• petroleum
• coal
• iron ore

Petroleum the crude oil is defined as:

• A gas found in the Earth's atmosphere
• A solid material found on the Earth's surface
• A naturally occurring liquid found beneath the Earth's surface source of various organic compounds

• A man-made substance used for fuel

In organic chemistry extraction means:

• Separating a compound from a mixture using filtration
• Separating a compound from a mixture using heat
• Separating a compound from a mixture using distillation
• Separating a compound from a mixture using a solvent

In industrial chemistry, extraction is defined as:

• Process of separating a desired substance from a mixture
• Process of converting a substance into a mixture
• Process of heating a mixture to separate substances
• Process of combining substances to form a mixture

Refining of petroleum means:

• Refining natural gas into petroleum
• Converting petroleum into crude oil
• Converting crude oil into useful products
• Extracting natural gas from petroleum

Refining of petroleum is done through the process called:

• condensation
• evaporation
• filtration
• fractional distillation

Fractional distillation is technique of:

• Separating a mixture of liquids with the same boiling points
• Separating a mixture of liquids with different boiling points
• Separating a mixture of gases with different densities
• Separating a mixture of solids with different melting points

The most important product of petrochemical is:

• textiles
• metals
• agriculture
• plastics
