How does a fractional distillation column work?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

The fractional distillation column has the mixture of substance. The mixture consists of substances which have very less difference in their boiling points . When heat is passed, the
substance with lowest boiling point forms vapours. After this every substance of the mixture changes into the vapour. These vapours get collected separately and are then condensed to get separate substances
