What else can I help you with?
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
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 fractional distillation is used?
Fractional distillation is used to separe the components of a liquid.
Why electrolysis can be separate by fractional distillation?
Electrolysis is a process, fractional distillation another.
Why does petrol stay as a mixture after fractional distillation?
After fractional distillation petrol is not a mixture.
What gas is obtained by fractional distillation?
Most of the gases in air, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and others are obtained by fractional distillation of liquid air.
Who is distillation different from fractional distillation?
Fractional distillation is applied when many components exist an the differences between boiling points are under 25 oC.
What would you use to separate a mixture of liquids?
You can use techniques like distillation, fractional distillation, or chromatography to separate a mixture of liquids based on their boiling points, vapor pressures, or solubility differences. These methods exploit the physical properties of the liquids to separate them effectively.
Chemists obtain pure petrol from crude oil what do you call this process?
fractional distillation
What is fractional distillation and why is it necessary?
Fractional distillation is a separation method based on the differences between boiling poins of components.
Where does fractional distillation take place?
This is an distillation installation with columns.
What is still head in fractional distillation?
This is the top of a distillation installation.
