Howdoesfractionaldistillationwork?
Fractional distillation of a mixture of ethanol (78oC) and water (100oC). 3. Ethanol distils over. In the condenser, ethanol vapour condenses. 2. Vapour of the liquid with higher boiling point condense along the fractionating column and re-enter l d the round-bottomed flask. 4. Ethanol is collected as the distillate.
1. In the distillation flask, the mixture of ethanol and water boils and both liquids may distil together.
