A) 30% to 40%
B) 50% to 80%
C) 10% to 30%
D) 80% to 90% - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔D - Crude ranges from 84% carbon to
89% carbon. The remaining is Hydrogen 10-15% and small amounts of
sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen

,Correct! TAXES placed on the oil (or gasoline) by the United States is why
we see higher gaso! line prices at the pump. Just be glad we are not paying
what countries like the United Kingdom is paying!
If Iraq IS UNABLE TO SUPPLY OIL, thus cutting the supply of Iraqi oil to
the US, what percentage of the total oil imports will be lost? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔6%
Approximately 6% of the US oil is imported from Iraq. This is equivalent to
approximately 600,000 barrels of oil per day! This is probably too high now
with the problems Iraq is having exporting oil.
How many gallons of crude i! s there in a barrel?
A) Depends on the size of the barrel
B) 42 US Gallons
C) 50 Imperial gallons - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔B) 42 US Gallons
Correct. When first found, oil had to be transported to market in wagons
over rough roads. There was spillage and losses from evaporation in the
Summer so out of about 50 gallons only 42 reached the market. Now we no
longer use barrels but it is still the measure of volume used.

In a typical distillation column: the light ends come off from the top. At the
top of the column, what is the temperature relative to the rest of the
column?
A) Highest
B) The temperature is even throughout the column
C) Medium
D) Coolest - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔D) Coolest
Correct. A heater is placed at the bottom of the column. The compounds
with the lowest boiling points evaporate and travel up (vapor has a lower
density than a liquid, thus rise). As the vapor rises, it cools (heat is supplied
at the bottom). Eventually it is cooled sufficiently to convert back to a liquid.
