What do you mean by Fractional Distillation?
Answers
❖ Fractional Distillation :
❱ It is the process used for the separation of a mixture of two or more liquids that have different boiling points.
❱ Fractional distillation is carried out by using a fractionation column. In order to carry out the fractional distillation, we require a distillation flask, fractional column, Liebig condenser and a receiver.

⚫ Which of the two liquids distillates first.
Answer:
Fractional distillation is a process of separating a mixture of chemical compounds. This means that each part (called a "fraction") of the mixture can be kept apart from the other chemicals. Different chemicals have different boiling points. ... This is carried out by boiling a mixture in a fractionating column.............
gasoline, diesel fuel and acetone are examples are examples of fractional distillation........................
