What are Hydrocarbons?
Molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon

How does Fractional Distillation work?
They all have different boiling points, meaning they are separated
3 of 6
Fractional Distillation (Temperature)
Hottest at the bottom
4 of 6
Fractional Distillation (Molecules)
Longer molecule length at the bottom due to the higher boiling point
5 of 6
Fractional Distillation (Chain length)
The longer the chain length the more viscous the fraction is
