​ What is the process called where heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into lighter
hydrocarbons?
a.​ Distillation
b.​ Alkylation
c.​ Cracking
d.​ Reforming
2.​ What is a key characteristic of "sweet" crude oil
a.​ Low sulfur content
b.​ Low density
c.​ High paraffin content
d.​ High API gravity
3.​ Which petrochemical is commonly used in the production of plastics?
a.​ Methane
b.​ Ethylene or propylene
c.​ Propane
d.​ Ammonia
4.​ Which unit operation is responsible for separating crude oil into various fractions based
on boiling points?
a.​ Filtration
b.​ Desalting
c.​ Catalytic cracking
d.​ Distillation
5.​ What is the primary purpose of a hydrocracker in petroleum refining?
a.​ To crack very heavy residual oils into gasoline and diesel fuel
b.​ To remove sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen from distillates
c.​ To convert heavy fractions from distillation into lighter products using a catalyst
d.​ To upgrade heavy residual oils into lighter products using hydrogen and thermal
cracking
6.​ What is the main purpose of a refinery?
a.​ To transport crude oil to other locations
b.​ To produce petrochemicals from crude oil
c.​ To refine crude oil into usable products
d.​ To separate crude oil into constituent products
7.​ What are some common products derived from the cracking process?
a.​ Gasoline
b.​ Diesel fuel
c.​ Lighter hydrocarbons
d.​ All of the above
8.​ Give one group/type or Petrochemicals
9.​ What are petrochemicals primarily derived from?
-​ Crude Oil and Gas
10.​What type of hydrocarbons are olefin
-​ Unsaturated hydrocarbons
11-12. Identify two primary petrochemicals derived from natural gas.
-​ Methane
-​ Ethane
13. What is the process called where heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into lighter
hydrocarbons?
-​ Cracking

True or False:

14. Petroleum is a renewable resource. False (Petroleum is a non-renewable fossil fuel)


15. Petrochemicals are used to produce fertilizers. True
16. The API gravity of crude oil measures its sulfur content. False (API gravity measures the
density of crude oil)
17. Catalytic reforming is a process that increases the octane rating of gasoline. True
18. The most complex type of refinery is the medium-conversion refinery, the high-conversion
refinery adds more interrelated processes such as hydrocracking, coking, demetallizing, and
dewaxing. False (high-conversion refinery)
19. Topping refineries are the least complex refineries and are used to separate the crude oil
into its constituent petroleum products by atmospheric distillation; naphtha is produced, but no
gasoline. True
20. Coal can also be a source of some petrochemicals. True
