Crude oil is about as different as cheese. Varies a lot. color is black/brown,water white,dark green,reddish etc. it depends upon the components it hold (As lighter components it hold as lighter in color and as heaver as dark it will be) density is between 700 - 1000 kg/cum and kinematic viscosity can be anywhere between 1 and 8 cSt (centi stokes)
Viscosity is a function of temperature, pressure, gravity and dissolved gas in the oil. A common way to calculate viscosity is to use a correlation related to the dead oil viscosity (at surface at standard temperature, usually 60 deg and atmospheric pressure) and then adjust the viscosity for reservoir conditions. I have attached a paper on the calculation methods. Generally, a sample is taken when a new field is discovered, and the viscosity is calculated in the laboratory. Light dead crude oil can range from about 0.6 to 5 cp as given in the attached paper.
The viscosity of Crude Oil found in Iranian reservoirs are estimated by many scholars. As of today the viscosity estimate can be sought from many scholars. The data is given below.

usually crude oil is black or brown.but they can also be red,yellow,or even colorless.
The higher the boiling point - the lower the viscosity is.
bitumen.
fuel gases, because they have the smallest amount of carbons present...between 1 and 4.
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
Crude Oil is a liquid.
Crude oil is inorganic.
Freezing oil will be extremely viscous. Oil does not freeze easily. The freezing point of oil is very low like -30oC.

crude oil is a viscous substance made of a mixture of hydrocarbons :) hope this helped xxx brook t x x x
It is not volatile, it consists of thick, viscous liquid.
It isd a liquid, generally a viscous liquid.
Crude oil is a mixture of various chemicals. If you distill crude oil you can separate it into components, which are also known as fractions.
No, not actually. Crude oil is one type of petroleum. Petroleum is a common term for the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Petroleum is refined from crude oil and is but one fraction only
Commonly, Petroleum is considered a synonym for Crude Oil. However, according to Britannica Encyclopedia, petroleum as a technical term encompasses: the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Because this crude oil has a short chain
yes it does
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
