During the fractional distillation of crude oil, the fraction that distills at 200 – 250\(^0\) C is
- bitumen
- diesel
-
kerosene
- petrol
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
The petroleum fractions that distill at 200–250°C are naphtha and kerosene,
- Bitumen: has a boiling point value of 525\(^0\)C
- Gasoline: Has a boiling range of 40–200°C
- Diesel: Has a boiling range of 250–350°C
- Fuel oil, paraffin, lubricants: Have a boiling range of 300–370°C
- Residue, crude oil: Has a boiling point of more than 370°C
