The components with lower boiling points condense at the top of the column, while those with higher boiling points condense at the bottom.
Crude oil is heated and vaporized in a fractionating column, and the vapor rises through the column, condensing at different heights depending on their boilingpoints.
Factional distillation is a process used to separate crude oil into different components based on their boilingpoints.
The temperature in the fractionating column decreases as you move up from the bottom to the top.
crude oil is a fossil fuel, formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
crude oil is mixture of lots of different hydrocarbons
at the top of the fractionating column is the gases with a lower boiling point due to them having shorter carbon chains (easily breakable)
