Fractional Distillation: Separating Liquids Through Heat
Fractional distillation is a separation technique that exploits physical properties of liquids, including boiling point, volatility, and vapor pressure. Different components in a liquid mixture have varying boiling points, vapor pressures, and volatilities. During fractional distillation, the mixture is heated to a temperature where the components with lower boiling points vaporize, while those with higher … Read more
