Fractional distillation is used for the refining of crude petroleum.
<h3>How are the components of
crude petroleum separated out?</h3>
Fractional distillation is the procedure used to separate crude oil's numerous constituents.
- A mixture is divided into several components, known as fractions, using fractional distillation.
- A combination of hydrocarbons makes up crude oil. The crude oil evaporates, and in the fractionating column, its vapors condense at various temperatures.
- The hydrocarbon molecules in each percent have a comparable number of carbon atoms and a comparable range of boiling points.
- The mixture is placed above a tall fractionating column that has multiple condensers coming off at various heights.
- The bottom of the column is warm, while the top is cool. High boiling point compounds condense at the bottom, whereas low boiling point substances condense as they ascend.

A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:
- Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.
- Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
- Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

The Sun is currently a main sequence star and will remain so for another 4-5 billion years. It will then expand and cool to become a red giant, after which it will shrink and heat up again to become a white dwarf. The white dwarf star will run out of nuclear fuel and slowly cool down over many billions of years.
