Show transcript
Fractional distillation is an extension of simple distillation, and is mostly used to separate mixtures of liquids.
A main distinction between fractional and simple distillation is that the former uses a fractionating column.
Fractional distillation has multiple real-world examples, including the fractional distillation of air.
Fractional distillation produces fractions; these can be pure or mixtures of chemicals with very similar boiling points.
