This experiment involved fractional distillation of crude oil to separate its components. The crude oil was heated in a round bottom flask connected to a fractionating column and condenser. As each component vaporized at its boiling point, it rose up the column and condensed separately. Fractions were collected at different temperatures and volumes. The lowest boiling point components distilled first followed by higher boiling point components. Fractional distillation is important for refining crude oil into useful petroleum products based on boiling point differences.

Introduction: This laboratory provides practice in separating a homogeneous mixture, or solution, into its pure components. This separation uses a technique called fractional distillation. This separation is a physical method, which depends on differences in boiling points of the two or more components. Fractional distillation is a common practice in industry and in the laboratory. On a large scale it is used to refine petroleum into the "fractions" used for gasoline, heating oil, etc. In the laboratory it is employed whenever a mixture of liquids must be separated. By noting the boiling temperature of the collected fractions and other physical properties, fractional distillation can also be used to identify the components in a solution of unknown composition.
2 Procedure: 1. At first connect the equipment with each other. 2. Put 100ml of crude oil in round flask. 3. Make sure that water come in to condenser and out from it for condense the vapor by exchanging heat. 4. After that heat the crude oil when the first drop came write the initial point temperature. 5. Then read the temperature at 2ml of sample when evaporate until to reach the final drop and write the temperature at final drop.
