Solution
- Fractional distillation is a process by which a chemical compound is separated into components by crystallization on the basis of their different solubilities, by means of evaporating the solution.
- In this process the compound is mixed with a solvent, heated, and then gradually cooled so that, as each of its constituent components crystallizes and it can be removed in its pure form from the solution.
- For example, fractional distillation is used in oil refineries to separate crude oil into useful substances having different hydrocarbons of different boiling points.
