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.


Is vinegar volatile?

I suppose that it isnt. If so, may be the evaporation very slow, at a normal temperature. But I think that all liquids that are thin are volatile along the time, the evaporation varying according to its composition. However, this is a personal opinion, and if you are not satisfied with the answer, please return it for a better response.


What is the function of the fractionating column in fractional distillation?

The fractionating column is usually filled with glass or plastic beads. These beads improve the separation between the liquids being distilled. The reason that fractional distillation gives better separation between the liquids is because the glass beads in the fractionating column provide "theoretical plates" on which the refluxing liquid can condense, re-evaporate, and condense again, essentially distilling the compound over and over. The more volatile liquids will tend to push towards the top of the fractionating column, while lower boiling liquids will stay towards the bottom, giving a better separation between the liquids.


Why is it better to use coconut oil for frying than water?

Coconut oil is not very volatile. It has the same boiling point with water. But water vaporizes quicker than cooking oil.


Why are liquids better than gases?

Liquids are not better than gases; this depends only on the desired applications.


Explain why a distillation would not separate a mixture of the miscible liquids formic acid which boils at 100.7 degrees celsius and water which boils at 100 degrees celsius?

This is because their boiling points are close. Distillation is used to separate mixtures in which their constituents have boiling points that are relatively far apart. A better method would be fractional distillation which can be used to separate mixtures in which their constituents have relatively close boiling points.


Why is better separation of two liquids achieved by slow rather than fast distillation?

because faster distillation usually means higher temperature. Under the circumstances, the mixture often evaporates too quickly for the two liquids to separate properly. Also, distillation work on the principle of different boiling points for two liquids, if you distillate too quickly, its easy to overrun the first boiling point and get a bunch of unwanted impurities.


Distillation is a way to separate a mixture using the physical property of boiling point.?

Distillation would be one because if you boil the mixture of the two liquids, one of the substance will boil first and therefore you will collect its vapour first, than you can condense it. However this method works better with two mixture with two very different boiling point.

Will a fuel with a higher boiling point be a better fuel than one with a lower boiling point?

A low boiling point one would be better as it will use less heat and release Co2 into the air. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitter @TrolPie


Can you snort diazpam to get better results?

Due to the binders in the pill, you will likely not have better results doing this.


Can you use oil istead of buuter in cookies?

Yep, but shortening or lard will work better, if using oil reduce other liquids by about 1/2 the oil used. Results will be different than if using a "short" fat.
