Question: 1 . A refinery processes 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 barrels of crude oil per day with an average API gravity of 2

1. A refinery processes 200,000 barrels of crude oil per day with an average API gravity of 25. If the refinery's distillation unit can separate 40% of the crude oil into light naphtha (API gravity 60), how many barrels of light naphtha are produced daily?
2. In a catalytic cracking unit, 30,000 barrels of heavy oil with an average molecular weight of 250 are processed. If the cracking process achieves a conversion efficiency of 85%, how many kilograms of lighter products are produced, assuming an average molecular weight of 100?
