Question
Q1: oil fraction has API of 43 is to be distilled at uniform rate. The temperature of
the vapor when the first drop of condensate drips from the condenser is recorded as
the initial boiling point (IBP), when 90% of crude oil has been distilled the
maximum temperature is recorded as finial boiling point (FBP). The following
ASTM distillation data are collected:
