Question:-
What is fractional distillation? Give its importance.
⠀
Answer:-
Fractional distillation:
It is the process of separation of a mixture of two or more miscible liquids having very close boiling points (differing by less than 25°C). In this case, distillation is carried out using a fractionating column.
Importance:
- This process is used in the separation of petroleum products.
- It is used to get component gases from air.

Question :
what is fractional distillation? give its importance !
Answer :
fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts of fractions chemical compounds separated by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fraction of the mixture will vaporize . it uses distillation to fractionate .
Its importance are ;
- it is used as a fuel in vehicles
- it is used for household purposes
Extra explanation :-
The process of fractional distillation
it is a special type of distillation in which two miscible liquid having different boiling points but close to each other are separated by fractionating colume .
in this process the mixture is boiled in a round bottom flask and the vapours of the boiling solution passes along the fractionating column .
the temperature of the column is coolest at the top and gradually increases down as at the bottom it is attached with heating burner .
now the component with higher boiling point contents on the column and hence chapter contentious thing they returned to the solution and the components with lower boiling point father passed through the column and are collected as they are more volatile .
this process is used for separation mixture like water and ethanol , or in production of gasoline from crude oil .
