Question

Tabulate differences between:

Distillation and fractional distillation

Answer 1

Differences between distillation and fractional distillation:

Distillation	Fractional distillation
1. Distillation is a technique of separation of of a mixture of two miscible liquids where the difference in the boiling points of the components of mixture differ by $25\mathrm{K}$ or more.	1. Fractional distillation is a technique of separation of a mixture of two miscible liquids where the difference in the boiling points of the components of mixture differ by less than $25\mathrm{K}$.
2. It this, vaporisation of liquid takes place followed by the condensation.	2. In this, repeated vaporisation and condensation of liquid takes place.
3. The apparatus used a round bottom flask fitted to a water condenser.	3. The apparatus used is a round bottom flask fitted to a fractionating column and a water condenser.
4. Example: Mixture of Acetone $\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3\right)$ and Water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ can be separated by distillation.	4. Example: Separation of different gases from air etc.
