Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into fractions containing hydrocarbons of similar chain lengths and boiling points.
Draw one straight line from each fraction to the correct use of that fraction.
| Fraction | Use |
|---|---|
| Kerosene | Fuel for cars |
| Fuel for aircraft | |
| Petrol | Surfacing roads and roofs |
| Fuel for domestic heating | |
| Bitumen | Fuel for large ships |
| Making plastic bags |
