5.8 I can recall the names and uses of the main fractions obtained from crude oil
Match the fractions with the positions on the fractional distillation column. Click on the image to see my wrong answers!


5.7 I can describe how crude oil is separated
- Read Chem 4 You pages 142 to 144 about how crude oil is separated
- Watch and embed the youtube video on the FD of crude oil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nehNVSEoX3M and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAyAoLb8_xQ with the title of the post as "5.7 I can describe how crude oil is separated"
- You can do better than this! Using the diagram below add audio and create your own video using http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ and upload to you tube and embed above the other two videos - it should not be longer than 2 minutes. Your audio should refer to how the process works, not the uses - that will come later!
