2. Pure substances are single substances. (eg distilled water contains 100% water)

3. Mixtures contain two or more substances mixed in any ratio or proportion

4. Elements are special substances which contain just one type of atom (eg sodium Na contains Na atoms only)

Labelled distillation equipment

Distilling crude oil (a complex mixture of hydrocarbons)

Notice the range of temperatures! Which component has the lowest, which the highest? What is the approx boiling point of petrol?

The distillation of crude oil takes place in a petroleum refinery like this.

Filling up at Tesco's in the UK.

The world would a lot different without petrol!
