Method used to separate Petrol from crude oil is:

1. Distillation
2. chromatography
3. substallisation
4. fractional distillation

Correct answer: fractional distillation

Solution

Fractional distillation separates crude oil into useful fractions because its components have different boiling points. As the vapors rise through the column, each hydrocarbon condenses at a different level.
