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.

Which distilation is used to convert rectifired spirit into absolute alcohal?

Fractional distillation is used to convert rectified spirit into absolute alcohol. This process involves heating the rectified spirit to separate out the different components based on their boiling points, allowing for the collection of a higher percentage of pure alcohol.


What is the effect of sugar and salt in the evaporation of water?

Sugar and salt affect the evaporation of water differently. Sugar increases the boiling point of water, slowing down evaporation. On the other hand, salt decreases the vapor pressure of water, also slowing down evaporation. Both substances can hinder the rate of evaporation compared to pure water.


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.


Which one of the following is not obtained by the fractional distillation of water he or xe or ne?

Xe (xenon) is not obtained through the fractional distillation of water. Xenon is a noble gas and is typically obtained through the fractional distillation of liquid air. Water can be fractionally distilled to obtain gases like hydrogen and oxygen, and neon can also be obtained through fractional distillation processes.


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 separate two immiscible liquid?

I am guessing by fractional distilation because they should have diffrent boiling point but if the boiling points are the same then add salt to make them impurities and have diff boiling points then do fractional distillation


Which type of bonding is broken in fractional distilation?

Intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces are broken during fractional distillation, rather than chemical bonds. This allows different components in a mixture to be separated based on their differing boiling points.

How can fuel oil be changed into petrol?

by fractional distilation which is heating something up so it boils and evaporates then the petrol condences and runs down the tube for petrol it turns into petrol (from fuel oil) by catylistic cracking, this is when the hydrocarbon get chopped of into smaller pieces

Why is it difficult to obtain 100 percent oxygen from fractional distilation?

It is difficult to obtain 100 percent oxygen from fractional distillation because oxygen has a boiling point of -183 degrees Celsius, which is very close to the boiling points of other components in air like nitrogen and argon. Achieving complete separation is challenging due to the small difference in boiling points between oxygen and these other gases.
