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.
What is role of distillation columns in petroleum industry?
Since today petroleum products are very commonly used, they must be prepared in large quantities. In petroleum industry, it is done using fractional distillation. In the crude form we get petroleum which is a mixture of various products like petrol, diesel, Kerosene oil etc. Using fractionating columns we separate these products which have different boiling points.
How could you separate a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water?
To separate these, use distillation. Heat up the solution, and the alcohol will rise. Collect the water, and then the alcohol at the other end of the equipment! The simplest and most common way of separating water and alcohol is through distillation. Multiple distillations can be conducted to obtain a high percentage of alcohol, but will eventually form an azeotropic mixture, which can be separated no further through simple distillations. By distillation, alcohol boils at a lower temperature(78.1*C) vs. (100*C)for water. By heating it to its boil point you would turn into vapor. With the right equipment you can channel this vapor to another container where can cool and condense back into a liquid, leaving behind only water.
Why must a container be sealed in distillation?
Short answer: Distillation heats a liquid mixture and then cools the vapor that boils off to recover the more volatile portion of the original mixture. If you have a leaky apparatus you can lose a lot of this volatile portion because it will leak into the atmosphere before it has a chance to condense into your receiving vessel. This wastes energy and can create a fire or explosion hazard if you are distilling flammable liquids. It will create health or environmental problems if you are working with toxic materials or materials that are harmful to the environment. Long answer: Distillation works by either heating a liquid to produce vapor or reducing the pressure over a liquid to make it boil into a vapor at a lower temperatures. The vapor must be condensed by cooling to recover the "distallate" product you are after. With heated distillation you will lose much of the vapor through before you can condense it if you have a leaky apparatus. This is especially true if the distillation occurs at high pressures. For vacuum distillation you may not be able to create enough vacuum to cause the liquid mixture to boil if there are any large leaks or you will waste a lot of power creating the needed vacuum pressure in a leaky distillation column.
What is the process for water distillation?
A simple distillation is when a liquid is boiled and the vapors are condensed back into liquids in a condenser and captured in a container separate from the one being heated. This method is useful for separating liquids based on their boiling points.
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 2 conditions are needed during the cracking process fractional distillation?
Fractionating distillation is used to separate liquids which differ in their boiling points by 25 C or more
What must the components of a solution have different in order for distillation to work?
Volatility, vapour pressure
Is filtered water almost distilled?
Filtration and distillation are very different processes; a water containing suspended solids must be filtered before distillation.
How are gases liquids and gases different?
Though both can act as fluids liquids are a different and much cooler state of matter. Gases must first become liquids before they can become solids.
Are boiling points of all liquids the same?
All liquids have different boiling point (BP). It's one of the must important characteristics of liquids. You can distinguish and also separate a mixture of liquids by boiling off one with a lower BP. The BP of every liquid depends upon the attractive forces among the atoms or molecules of the material such as hydrogen bonds, dipole attraction, London forces, etc....

How do you play ps2 games on xbox?
You cannot, you must have a separate disc for the different console.
Can you separate water and alcohol?
Previous answer: "You can use distillation to separate alcohol and water due to their different boiling points."Not quite. You can partially separate alcohol (ethanol) and water due to their different boiling points. Water and ethanol form what is called an azeotrope, meaning that at a certain concentration of ethanol (somewhere around 94-96% I think, not sure) you can not separate the water and ethanol to any greater extent through distillation. It is still possible to get 100% ethanol, but this has to be acheived either through exhaustively exact synthesis or using a water sequestration or drying agent on a water ethanol mixture and re-purifying the ethanol by whatever process is relevant.to separate this liquid -liquid mixture we must use-fractional distillationbecause alcohol for eg. methyl alcohol boils @ 64.7 C& water @ 100 C

Which must be a mixture of substances?
A mixture must consist of two or more different substances physically combined, where each retains its original properties. Mixtures can be separated by physical means such as filtration, distillation, or evaporation.
