Description

A liquid mixture of light hydrocarbons obtained from crude petroleum. Gasoline, or naphtha, is the distillation fraction of petroleum that boils between 35-204C (100-400F). Kerosene is the heavier liquid fraction obtained in the boiling range of 204-343C. Mineral oil is collected from 330-360C. Additional fractions are often distilled from gasoline and have over the years been given many confusing and overlapping names:

- fraction (boiling range): alternate names 
- volatiles (
