Fractional Distillation
A method used to separate a mixture of liquids with different boiling points.
Fractionating Column
A long column containing glass beads that helps in the separation process during fractional distillation.
Boiling Point
The temperature at which a liquid turns into vapor.
Thermometer
An instrument used to measure temperature, placed at the top of the fractionating column.
Condenser
A device that cools vapor back into liquid form.
Evaporation
The process of turning from liquid into vapor.
Condensation
The process of turning vapor back into liquid.
Simple Distillation
A method for separating a liquid from a solid solution.
Crude Oil Refinement
The process of separating different components of crude oil using fractional distillation.
Repeat Evaporation and Condensation
