Any pure substance has only a single boiling point. If you are getting a range of boiling points, then you are heating a mixture of substances, necessarily.

What is the fractional distilation?

In distillation you boil off the substance you want ... then re-condense it. In fractional distillation you boil up a mixture of original substance ... and tap off the "steam" (the vapor) at various levels (thus different temperatures) and so you get different substances at each tap. It is most commonly used for crude oil to get many products.


What is the method use to separate petroleum into fractions?

Petroleum is separated into fractions through a process called fractional distillation. This involves heating the petroleum to a high temperature, causing it to vaporize. As the vapors rise through a distillation column, they cool and condense at different heights based on their boiling points, allowing for the separation of various fractions such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.


When would there be a temperature drop in the middle not near the end of fractional distillation What does it signify?

A temperature drop in the middle and not near the end of fractional distillation just means that you distilled the substance you wanted more rapidly than expected. It also means that your original mixture had a higher amount of the other substance than expected.


What characteristic property of two liquids must differ if a mixture of them is to be separated by fractional distillation?

The boiling points of the two liquids must differ in order to be separated by fractional distillation. This technique relies on heating the mixture to separate the components based on their boiling points. The greater the difference in boiling points, the more effective the separation will be.


What is the residue of the distillation process?

some products of fractional distillation..are: ..crude oil..,gasoline..,and ..grease.. >xenxa n guyz ah..yan lng alm q eh..< >u can do it..!! researchp kau!!...:))< >trez_03< Improve ko 'to hupz... Through fractional distillation, these following products are possible: 1. Asphalt 2. Crude Oil 3. Heating Oil 4. Petroleum Jelly 5. Kerosene 6. Gasoline 7. Petroleum 8. Efficascent oil 9. Lubricating Oil 10. Wax etc. Actually, without fractional distillation, we can't have these things and all their possible derivative products. Source: Libro ko :)

What mixture separated by fractional distillation?

fractional distillation is used in oil refineries to separate crude oil into useful substances (or fractions) having different hydrocarbons of different boiling points.


What do you mean by a fraction of petroleum?

Petroluem does not consist of a single substance but is a mixture of many substances - mostly several different hydrocarbons. These are separated by a process called fractional distillation. These different components are called fractions.


How is crude oil separated into different fractions?

you use fractional distillation! basically, all the different substances in crude oil have different boiling points, and the column which is used to do fractional distillation has stages with different temperatures. when the substance reaches its boiling point temperature in the column, it turns into liquid and settles there, away from other fuels.


How crude oil is separated into fractions by fractional distillation?

Crude oil needs to be separate because as its crude oil at different boiling points burns and so it creates different types of elements, like for example gasoline at 600 degrees celsius


What substance is removed at the filtration stage during the fractional distillation of air?

First the components or the gases in the air are liquefied(made into liquid)under low temperature and high pressure.Then it is passed through the fractionating column.Gases evaporate there.Then the gases can be obtained.

What is it called when you separate liquids by boiling and condensing them at different temperatures?

Fractionation. One other specialized application is called distillation. I'd put it differently. Distillation refers to any boil and condense process. Alcoholic spirits are distilled and in many cases the idea is not to separate the components too much. Simple distillation does separate liquids at different temperatures though you would not normally refer to it as fractionation. To do fractionation effectively the cycle must be repeated many times, which can be done automatically with a fractionating column. The components that emerge in succession are called fractions.


How does a fractional distillation column work?

In a fractional distillation column, a mixture of liquids is heated, vaporized, and then passed through a vertical column packed with trays or packing material. The components in the mixture separate based on differences in their boiling points, with lighter components rising to the top and heavier components condensing back into liquid at the bottom. The vapor mixture undergoes multiple condensation and vaporization cycles within the column, leading to the separation of different components based on their boiling points.
