GCSE Chemistry - Crude Oil and Fractional Distillation #53

The video explains how crude oil, a fossil fuel composed mainly of hydrocarbons, is formed from ancient organic matter and extracted from the earth. It describes the fractional distillation process used to separate crude oil into different components based on their boiling points. The video also covers the various uses of these components, such as fuels and petrochemicals, and highlights the finite nature of crude oil as a non-renewable resource.

How does the extraction of crude oil relate to its classification as a non-renewable resource?

What are the differences between short-chain and long-chain hydrocarbons?

What are petrochemicals and what are their applications?
