Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can compare two types of distillation and successfully use distillation to separate a mixture of miscible liquids.

Show transcript
Simple distillation is used to separate a mixture containing only two substances. Fractional distillation separates mixtures with 3+ substances, or substances with similar boiling points. Slower heating during distillation allows for more controlled boiling of individual components. If the condenser warms up it becomes less effective and more gas will escape.
