Question

Explain the fractional distillation with diagram and with uses of different fractions.

Answer 1

Fractional distillationis theseparationof amixtureinto its component parts, orfractions.Chemical compoundsare separated by heating them to atemperatureat which one or more fractions of the mixture willvaporize. It usesdistillationtofractionate. Generally the component parts have boiling points that differ by less than 25 °C from each other under a pressure of oneatmosphere. If the difference in boiling points is greater than 25 °C, asimple distillationis typically used.
