Answer:

Explanation: Refining of petroleum is done for separation of useful substances in oil refineries.

In this process, petroleum is heated to 400°C and introduced in a fractionating column, which is a tall, cylindrical structure fitted with horizontal trays.

As the vapours of petroleum rise inside the fractionating column, they cool and condense at different heights, depending on their boiling points, and are collected in different trays. Uncondensed hydrocarbons (petroleum gas) pass out of the column.

Explanation: Both oil and gas have a low specific gravity relative to water thus they will form layer above water.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a green house gas which can lead to an increase in the global average temperature, which, in turn, can cause the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, resulting in a rise in sea level and submerging of coastal areas.
