This question refers to the pressurization of the water lines in a chemistry laboratory's fractional distillation apparatus. The attaching and pressurizing of these water lines allow for cooling, that is the carrying away of heat from the system to allow for vapor condensation of the distilled products.

Why are glass beads used in a fractionating column?

Glass beads are used in a fractionating column to provide surface area for vapor-liquid contact and enhance the separation of components in a mixture. The beads help in achieving more efficient distillation by increasing the number of theoretical plates, which improves the separation efficiency of the column.


How are fractions separated in a fractionating column?

Fractionation is based on the differences between boiling points of components.


What is the function of the fractionating column in fractional distillation?

The fractionating column is usually filled with glass or plastic beads. These beads improve the separation between the liquids being distilled. The reason that fractional distillation gives better separation between the liquids is because the glass beads in the fractionating column provide "theoretical plates" on which the refluxing liquid can condense, re-evaporate, and condense again, essentially distilling the compound over and over. The more volatile liquids will tend to push towards the top of the fractionating column, while lower boiling liquids will stay towards the bottom, giving a better separation between the liquids.
