Kinetic Theory of Gas
The Kinetic Theory of gases is a classical model of gases, according to which gases are composed of molecules/particles that are in random motion. While undergoing this random motion, kinetic energy in molecules can assume random velocity across all dire…
P-V Diagram
A P-V diagram is a very important tool of the branch of physics known as thermodynamics, which is used to analyze the working and hence the efficiency of thermodynamic engines. As the name suggests, it is used to measure the changes in pressure (P) and v…

Answer to Problem 40R

Option C

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

After extraction, the crude oil is separated into fractions that have similar boiling points in a fractioning tower.

The bottom of the tower is heated at a very high temperature. Few hydrocarbons that have lower boiling points rise up and then condense. Hence hydrocarbons that are collected at the top have the least boiling points.

Conclusion:

Few carbon atoms with low boiling point are collected at the top of the fractioning tower.
