Question

What is difference in the property of two miscible liquids that enables their separation by fractional distillation?

Answer 1

Answer:

A mixture of two miscible liquids can be separated by the process of fractional distillation. The separation of two liquids by fractional distillation depends on the difference in their boiling points

Answer 2

Answer:

Fractional distillation is the process of separation of a mixture of two or more miscible liquids having very close boiling points (differing less than 25°C). Fractionating columns are used for distillation in this technique.

Importance:

a. It is useful in obtaining petroleum products from crude oil.

b. It is also useful in separating different components of air.
