Study Notes

Fractional Distillation Apparatus

A diagram shows a fractional distillation setup
A round bottom flask contains a liquid mixture
The flask is heated using a Bunsen burner
The vapor rises through a fractionating column
The column is packed with glass beads or metal wool
The vapor cools and condenses on the packing material
Different components of the mixture condense at different temperatures
The condensed liquid drips down the column
The more volatile component comes out at a lower temperature
The column separates the mixture
A receiving flask collects the separated components
The bottom receiving flask collects the lower boiling point component
The receiving flask on the top collects the higher boiling point component
The apparatus is used to purify liquids with different boiling points
