Emma is doing a laboratory experiment to separate components of crude oil. she decides to use a technique that will separate the components based on their boiling points. which technique uses this principle?

The separation of components on the basis of their boiling points is known as fractional distillation. The mixture is heated to temperature at which one/more components will evaporate and will be collected by condensation. This technique is the most used process in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, natural gas processing plants etc.
