Fractional distillation is a technique used to separate liquids with different boiling points. It is used in refining oil, whereby different types of oils are separated according to their different boiling points.

What is the process used to separate the different components of oil?
Fractional Distillation
Which of the following separation methods is used in refining oil?
Oil is refined by fractional distillation.
How fractional distillation is used?
Fractional distillation is used to separe the components of a liquid.
In what situation would you use fractional distillation over simple distillation?
You would use simple distillation when the two products you are trying to separate have large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is needed when the two products have very close boiling points (like Hexane and toluene). In petroleum refining, the word "fractionation", not "fractional distillation" is used, often interchangeably with "distillation". When we have a crude mixture of different compounds which have very minor difference in their boiling points and cannot be separated simple distillation, then fractional distillation is used. Differenciation of components of petroleum is done by this process
How is crude oil separated into its components?
Usually by fractional distillation. BT+NG=BFFL
What is the advantage of simple distillation to fractional distillation?
Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.
How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
What is used to separate fractional distillation?
Yuo need a distillation instalation.
difference between simple and fractional distillation?
The key difference between fractional and simple distillation is that fractional distillation is used when the components in the mixture have closer boiling points, while simple distillation is used when the components in the mixture have a large difference in their boiling points
How is fractional distillation used during the making of whiskey?
