A barrel of oil yields these refined products (percent of barrel): 47% gasoline for use in automobiles 23% heating oil and diesel fuel 18% other products, which includes petrochemical feedstock-products derived from petroleum principally for the manufacturing of chemicals, synthetic rubber and plastics 10% jet fuel 4% propane 3% asphalt (Percentages equal more than 100 because of an approximately 5% processing gain from refining.)

How does fire get its colors?

That depends on what is burning. If it's something normal like wood, the coloration is attributable to the changes in temperature as the flame moves away from the fuel. In other cases, such as a hazardous material, the color can be orange, green, blue, purple depending on the fuel...One things sure though! You don't want to be ANYWHERE near a flame that's any color other than orange!


If something is nuclear power does it run out of energy?

Nuclear fuel does eventually run out of energy, yes.


What does it mean when it says what forms of potential energy were displayed in the illustrations?

I assumed this question is on symbol interpretation. There are symbol on energy, for instance atom is for nuclear energy, lightning is for electricity, fire is for thermal energy, wood/plant is fuel derived from wood/plant, oil barrel for oil. From above example, wood/plant fuel is chemical potential and nuclear fuel is nuclear potential energy.


How many gallons are in a barrel?

There are 42 gallons (1 U.S. gallon = 3.78 liters) in a barrel (i.e., 1 barrel of oil = 159 liters). When converting to oil to Metric Tonnes (MT), there is around 7.3 BBL per MT, and 304 Gallons per MT. Originally there were 40 gallons to a barrel. However, that was changed in the mid-19th century to give a little extra so consumers wouldn't feel "cheated." According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 1 "BBL" of crude oil makes about 17 gallons of gasoline, 12 gallons of gasoil, 7 gallons of jet fuel or kerosene, while lubricants, light naphtha and asphalt makes up the rest. This ratio depends on the crude type and varies a lot. The easy way to remember the number of gallons in a barrel of oil: There are 7 letters in gallons and 6 letters in barrel. 7X6=42 gallons. 42 US gallons. ALL OIL PRODUCTS ARE +/- 5 PERCENT, ALSO THE BARREL!!
