The National Reclamation Act affected the management of the natural resource Oil
I think it's A but here's an explanation anyway: as you heat the crude oil, the different hydrocarbons, having different boiling points, boil and evaporate up the column. Those with lower boiling points, shorter in chain length, will condense nearer the top of the fractional distillation column. Those that are more viscous, larger in chain size, will have high boiling points, so will evaporate last and condense lower down in the column. Therefore, you achieve all the different oils / materials (oil, petrol, gasoline, tar etc etc). I hope this helps. If not, then a good website to use is 'BBC bitesize, fractional distillation'.
Answer:
option (c) 14.7 lbs
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Area of the column = 1 square inch
Now,
we know Air pressure at the ground surface level from the atmosphere
= 14.7 Psi
also, it can be represented as
14.7 Psi = 14.7 pounds per square inch
Therefore,
Weight of the air weigh within a column that is 1 square inch in area
= Air pressure × Area
= 14.7 pounds per square inch × 1 square inch
= 14.7 pounds i.e 14.7 lbs
Hence,
The answer is option (c) 14.7 lbs
