Explain fractional distillation |
|
Answer» Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts, or FRACTIONS. Chemical compounds are separated by HEATING them to a TEMPERATURE at which one or more fractions of the mixture will vaporize. It USES distillation to fractionate. Generally the component parts have boiling points that differ by less than 25 °C from each other under a pressure of one atmosphere. If the difference in boiling points is greater than 25 °C, a simple distillation is typically used. |
