could distillation be used to separate air into oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide argon and so forth explain
Answers
Answer:
maybe
Explanation:
if their boiling point difference is less than 25 degree Celsius then they can be separated by distillation
Answer:
Yes , we can seperate the components of the air by the process of fractional distillation.
The process is as follows :
Liquefaction of Air :
Air is filtered to remove dust, and then cooled in stages until it reaches –200°C. At this temperature it is a liquid. The air has been liquefied.
Here's what happens as the air liquefies:
water vapour condenses, and is removed using absorbent filters
carbon dioxide freezes at -79°C, and is removed
oxygen liquefies at -183°C
nitrogen liquefies at -196°C
The liquid nitrogen and oxygen are then separated by fractional distillation.
The liquefied air is passed into the bottom of a fractionating column. Just as in the columns used to separate oil fractions, the column is warmer at the bottom than it is at the top.
