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 type of bearing would be fitted to a fractional kW electric motor?
The type of bearing that would be fitted to a fractional kW electric motor will depend on the model and maker of the motor. Deep grove ball bearings are the most common bearings used.

How would you separate alcohol and orange juice?
by fractional distillation.
How would you separate the components of air?
This chemical process is called fractional distillation.
Which liquid would be the first to be collected in the fractional distillation?
The liquid with the lowest boiling point will be the first to be collected in fractional distillation. This is because it vaporizes at a lower temperature and rises first in the fractionating column before condensing.
Can we separate oil and water by a fractional distillation?
No, fractional distillation is not effective in separating oil and water because they have very different boiling points. Oil has a higher boiling point than water, so they would not separate in a fractional distillation process. Instead, a process such as gravity separation or using a separating funnel would be more effective in separating oil and water.
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.
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.
Fractional distillation and the impact on the environment?
Fractional distillation it is separating mixtures via their boiling points. Fractional distillation is done by adding some sort of material into the column that the vapor travels before being cooled and condensed while. Since the fractional distillation means the separation of a mixture into different componenets.Suppose the raw material entering into the distillation column contains many fraction(for example,if a crude oil is entering,it contains gases,gasoline,kerosene etc). if a distillation is done for such a material.this will be the fractional distillation.Because in a distillation column you will separate different components present in the crude Check the related question below to know more.
Explain the differences between fractional and simple distillation which is more efficient how the efficiency could be enhanced What is the purpose of adding boiling stones?
The difference is that simple distillation will be used to separate substances within mixtures that have significantly different boiling points; whereas, with fractional distillation, the boiling points are closer and separation must be cared for differently. This is the reason why you must employ the use of an additional piece of apparatus called the fractionating column when undergoing fractional distillation. Based on what is stated above, the more efficient method would have to be Fractional Distillation because it essentially separates the parts of the mixture much more precisely. You could enhance fractional distillation by using boiling stones. The reason for adding the boiling stones is to calm down the boiling of the liquid mixture. You really do not want the boiling to become too violent as is the case with "bumping" which is when the air pressure inside the liquid increases so rapidly that it will literally BUMP the glass while it is trying to expel the excess air pressure. Normally only th air will be relieced out from the opening of the container such as the top (ie. the surface of the liquid), but too much air and too little surface area at the top will cause air to be reliese radially outward and strike the sides of the container. Just try boiling eggs real fast with the stove on high and never turn it down; you'll see it happen.
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 would you separate a non dissolving solid mix with a liquid?
by the process of fractional distillation
What types of mixture do fractional distillation separate?
for mixtures that are miscible but have different boiling points
How would you separate two liquids in a mixture that have different boiling points?
You can separate two liquids with different boiling points using simple distillation. In this process, the mixture is heated until the liquid with the lower boiling point vaporizes, then the vapor is condensed back into liquid form and collected separately. This allows the components to be separated based on their boiling points.
