Of simple distillation, why?
Both simple distillation and fractional distillation can be used to separate two miscible liquids present in a mixture. If they differ in boiling points by more than, simple distillation is used. In case the difference is less than this temperature, then the process of fractional distillation can be employed. A fractionating column is used in the case of fractional distillation and is placed in the distillation flask. It can have a variety of shapes. No such column is needed in the case of simple distillation.
