Explanation:
Yes , we can seperate the components of the air by the process of fractional distillation. ... The liquid nitrogen and oxygen are then separated by fractional distillation. The liquefied air is passed into the bottom of a fractionating column.

QUESTION:-
Could Distillation be used to separate air into Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and so forth? Explain.
ANSWER:-
- Yes, Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and so forth can be separated through Fractional distillation.
- Air is a homogeneous mixture of different gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and so forth. The gaseous mixture cannot be segregated by crystallisation method or sedimentation method. But it can be separated by Fractional Distillation.
- An air separation factory separates atmospheric air into its fundamental components, generally nitrogen and oxygen, and sometimes also carbon dioxide, argon and other rare inert gases. The most established method for air separation is fractional distillation because different gasses in atmospheric air have different boiling points.
- Fractional Distillation is the method for the separation of a mixture into its component bases or parts. Chemical compounds are separated with the help of heating the mixture to a temperature at which one or more portions of the mixture will vaporize and it operates distillation to fractionate.
