Explain what method you would use to obtain Petrol (boiling point 20
60 C) from a mature of petrol and kerosene (boiling point 180 220 C)​

Fractional distillation of crude oil in laboratory

Explanation:

In general, we can sort them according to their boiling point.

We should first place a ball of mineral wool soaked with petroleum into a boiling tube and heat it with a Bunsen flame. At the beginning of the experiment, heat the mineral with a gentle flame, and then more strongly later. The fraction with a lower boiling range will distil out first. Since petrol is quite volatile, it should be condensed by cooling with water or an ice-water bath.

Petrol will be collected first, as it has a lower boiling point than kerosene. It will turn into vapour and condense again in the receive tub in the beaker.
