Why is fractional distillation used when the difference in boiling points of two liquids is not significant?
Options
- ATo make the distillation process slower
- BTo make the distillation process faster
- CTo separate the liquids within the same temperature range
- DTo convert the mixture into a solid
Correct answer
C. To separate the liquids within the same temperature range
Step-by-step solution
Fractional distillation is used when the difference in boiling points of two liquids is not significant to separate them within the same temperature range.
