Answer:
Question :
What is meant by fractional distillation?
Answer :
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.
More to know :
Fractional distillation is a method for separating liquids with different boiling points.
For example, liquid ethanol can be separated from a mixture of ethanol and water by fractional distillation.
When the mixture is heated, one liquid evaporates before the other.
