Depend on liquid property, if it had similar boiling point but different freezing point then it might consider crystallisation and distillation when the boiling is easier to separate them. If the liquid is easily thermally decompose then it might need to consider crystallisation. there is no definite answer to this question. Very depending on what chemical working with.

In what situation would you use fractional distillation over simple distillation?

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

Can distillation be used to separate sand from sugar?

No, distillation is not suitable for separating sand from sugar since both substances do not have different boiling points. Distillation relies on differences in boiling points to separate substances, so sand and sugar cannot be separated using this method. Instead, methods such as filtration or dissolution followed by filtration would be more appropriate for separating sand from sugar.


What part of a solution is dissolved is recovered when evaporation and crystallisation is used?

some solid solute.


What separation technique would most likely be used if a solvent we saved?

If a solvent were to be saved, distillation would be the separation technique of choice. Distillation involves heating the mixture to separate components based on their different boiling points, allowing the solvent to be collected and reused.


Is there a alternate method for distillation?

Yes, there are alternative methods to distillation such as fractional distillation, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. These methods are used depending on the specific properties of the substances being separated.


What are the key differences between a reflux condenser and a distillation condenser in terms of their functions and applications in the distillation process?

A reflux condenser is used to return condensed vapor back into the distillation flask, allowing for multiple distillation cycles and increased separation efficiency. A distillation condenser, on the other hand, is used to condense vapor into liquid form for collection. Reflux condensers are typically used in fractional distillation to achieve higher purity, while distillation condensers are used in simple distillation for basic separation.
