Answer 1

Answer:

In a fractional distillation, a mixture of liquids is boiled and the resulting vapors travel up a glass tube called a “fractionating column” and separate. The fractionating column is placed between the flask containing the mixture and the “Y” adaptor and improves the separation between the liquids being distilled.

Answer:-

Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into simpler, more useful mixtures . This method can be used because different hydrocarbons have different boiling points .
