Enumerate any two differences between simple distillation and fractional distillation

Open in App

Solution

Distillation and fractional distillation are two separation techniques
Distillation Fractional distillation
Simple distillation is used to separate miscible liquids having large boiling point differences. Fractional distillation is used to separate miscible liquids having a boiling point difference of less than $25^{o} C$
It consists of distillation flasks and condenser. It consists of fractionating column (glass beads packed in a tube) in addition to simple distillation.

Q. How is fractional distillation different from simple distillation?

Differentiate between simple distillation and fractional distillation. Where can these processes be used?

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 $25^{\circ}$ $C$ , 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.

Q. The apparatus of fractional distillation is different from simple distillation because of the presence of _________.
