Simple Distillation Flashcards
1
Q
Use of simple distillation
A
To separate a liquid from a solid if we want to keep the liquid
2
Q
Use of fractional distillation
A
Separate different liquids with different boiling points
3
Q
Process of simple distillation
A
- evaporate liquid by heating
- condense vapour back to liquid by cooling
4
Q
Describe process of fractional distillation
A
- heat mixture so that liquid with lower boiling point evaporate more easily
- mixture of vapours hit fractionating column they condense and drop back into flask where liquids evaporate again
- hit condenser and repeat
