Question

Draw a labelled diagram showing fractional distillation?

Accepted Answer

Fractional distillation is a type of distillation which involves the separation of miscible liquids. The separation happens when the mixture is heated at a certain temperature where fractions of the mixture start to vaporize.

A mixture of two miscible liquids A and B is taken where A has more volatility than substance B. The solution is added into the distilling flask while the fractionating column is connected at the tip of the flask. Heat is applied which increases the temperature slowly.

The mixture then starts to boil and vapours start rising in the flask. The vapours are from the volatile component A. The vapours then start moving through the fractionating column into the condenser where it is cooled down to form a liquid which is collected in the receiver.

Throughout the process, vapourization and condensation take place repeatedly until the two mixtures are separated completely.
