Fractional Distillation - Crude Oil Separation

The video explains how crude oil, a thick brown liquid found deep in the Earth's crust, is transformed into various useful products through fractional distillation. This process involves heating crude oil to a vapor and separating it into different fractions based on boiling points in a fractionating column. Each fraction has unique properties and uses, such as petrol for fuel and bitumen for road surfacing. Fractional distillation is a crucial process for obtaining essential substances from crude oil.
