Fractional Distillation

• It is a process in which facts knitting column is used which give the effect of repeated distillation . it is used to separate a mixture of two or more miscible liquid for which the difference in boiling point is less than 25 °C .

Fractionating Column

• It is a tube packed with glass beads . debate provide surface for vapour to cool and condense , therefore it gives the effect of repeated distillation .

Answer 2

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts, or fractions. Chemical compounds are separated by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the mixture will vaporize.

A fractionating column or fractional column is an essential item used in the distillation of liquid mixtures to separate the mixture into its component parts, or fractions, based on the differences in volatilities.
