you just made my research 30% easier! thanks

[HLordz]

things that should be taught in public schools...thanks for uploading this video

[petergribben]

Thanks for posting.  Clear and simple language.  well done.

[Conman]

This is really cool. I'm not even in a chemistry class but this was informative and entertaining.

[mailrgn]

Narration and animation is simple but powerful. Easy to understand. Thank You.

[insightchamber]

thanks, I will translate this video to indonesian language for my students..

[Emine]

taught me what what my chem teacher couldn't teach me for a month

[beinghomie]

Thanks for uploading such a nice knowledge!!

Hi, Great job on the video! It was super useful. I would like to know what softwere did you use to do that simple but powerful animation. I have to use something similar for my school project. Thanks :D

[dgnash]

This information is now locked clearly in my head. Thank you.

[sanathkumar]

Thank you very much, after watching so many other videos. I got this right video that explains me about source of plastic...

[tuanminh]

thank you very much. This is really useful to explain the process in my presentation ^^

[ActuallyAudacity]

How do you make these wonderful animations.I would love to earn!!!

[DJ-qspl]

great for bangingout in homework and getting extra facts

[SaebaRyo]

Thanks a lot. This is very useful in my organic chemistry chapter alkanes where there is a section about petroleum and its distillation.

U EXPLAIN WAY BETTER THEN MA TEACHER FML

Hi there! This is the easiest explanation I can find so far! THANK YOU! I can now understand how it works in the refinery but I am still confused on certain points.

You mentioned that the fractions from the residue are *fuel oil* used in power stations and etc.
Q1 - Is that *fuel oil* the same as the nuclear fuel used to produce heat to power turbines?
Q2 - Is petrol short for Petroleum?
Q3 - Is petrol and gasoline the same? (Petrol is used in British English while Gasoline is used in American English?)
Q4 - Is petrol / petroleum the same as fuel? If so, what are the difference between the fuel from the residue and the petrol/petroleum/fuel that is used for car. I read an article somewhere that was about "fuel oil crisis" in Asia when the oil crisis happened back in 70s. I looked it up. Some (Quora, not sure if it's reliable. Still can't be clear about it after reading the answers) claimed that petroleum is fuel while there was one guy said they are a tad bit different from each other but same usage. I also found this website that states "Petroleum products are fuels made from crude oil."

Sorry for all these silly questions! I really hope you would reply me before I pluck all my hair and eyebrows out to just figure this out lol. Thanks so much! :)
