OpenStudy (goalieboy):

please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would think D but I'm probably wrong

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

I assume that you want to mean filtration and not fileration that is wrong anyway

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

what is the correct answer

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

@Cuanchi

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

did you read the links that I posted? there is the answer

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the choices @goalieboy

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

A)Fractional distillation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_distillation

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

I will post the next question and tag both of you in it

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

Once it enters the modern refinery, crude oil goes through a process called fractional distillation. This process separates the different components of crude oil so that they can be further refined. Fractional distillation begins when the crude oil, which is a mixture of different hydrocarbons, is put into a high-pressure steam boiler. This is a tank that makes the oil boil and turn to vapor, much like boiling water turns into water vapor. The crude oil is heated to temperatures up to 1112° Fahrenheit.
