Question

What is meant by fractional distillation? How is it differ from simple distillation? What part of the fractional distillation apparatus makes it more efficient and possess an advantage over simple distillation process? Explain using a diagram.
Give one example of fractional distillation in industry.

Answer 1

SOLUTION-

1) FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION IS THE WAY TO SEPRATE IMMISCIBLE

LIQUIDS

2) IT IS EASIER THAN DISTILLATION.WHILE DISTILLATION IS SEPRATING PURE WATER WHICH IS DONE AFTER SEDIMENTATION.

3)IT IS DONE IN LIEBEG'S CONDENSER

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.
