Question

During fractional distillation, at what temperature range is carbolic oil or middle oil collected?

• A. upto 170${}^o$
• B. 170 - 230 ${}^o$
• C. 230 - 270 ${}^o$
• D. 270-360${}^o$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 170 - 230 ${}^o$

During fractional distillation, carbolic oil or middle oil is collected up to 170 - 230 ${}^o$.

Above this temperature, the Anthracene oil is obtained.
