what is the connection between the size of the molecules in crude oil and their condensing or boiling points?

explain why distillation is a good way to separate the liquids in crude oil

Respuesta :

Crude oil is mainly made of various polymers with varying sizes of chains. Distillation process separates these elements by their boiling points. The longer the polymer chain of a particular element in the crude oil, the higher its boiling point and vice-versa
