How does fractional distillation differ from simple distillation? |
[Improve]
Simple distillation refears to the "simple" separation of a solid and a liquid by evaporating the liquid and collecting it after it passes through a condenser to be changed into a liquid state.
Fractional distillation refers to the more complex way of saparation, usually involving a liquid/liquid mixture (eg.ethanol and water). these can be seperated since they both have differenct boiling points. When this mixture is heated the ethanol having the lowest boiling point boils off first, followed by the water. However the fractional colume condenses both gases back into liquid, and fall back in the flask, with time the ethaonl gains enough energy to over come the fractional coulme (this happen before the water does this since ethanol has a LOWER boiling point) and pass through the condenser, changes into a liquid and is collected.
