Answer:

Fractional distillation

Step-by-step explanation:

The separation of gasoline from crude oil by heating until it reaches its boiling point is a separation technique called fractional distillation.

  • It is the separation of a mixture, such as crude oil into their respective fractions.
  • This is achieved due to the differences in boiling point between the constituent fractions in the mixture.
  • As the boiling point of a fraction is reached, it distills out from the column.
