When would you use Evaporation and Crystallisation?
When the solid you want to obtain is soluble.
-
Liquids which do not mix are called Immiscible.

What is distillation used for?
Distillation is used for seperating the solvent from the solution.
-
How does Distillation work?
It works by the solvent evaporating, gas hits a condenser and then turns into a liquid.
-
Examples of when you might use distillation?
To seperate green colouring from green water
-
In distillation, which liquid remains in the flask?
The solvent with the higher boiling point
-
What is the boiling point of Ethanol?
78 C
-
When is Fractional Distillation used?
It is to seperate liquids if their boiling points are close together
-
What is the special piece of equiptment used in Fractional Distillation? What does it contain and why?
A fractionating column is used. It's usually packed with glass beads which increases the speed of condensation of the glasses
-
What industry uses Fractional Distillation?
The oil industry (crude oil)
-
What happens in the fractionating column?
- The lower boiling point gases rise to the top (eg petrol) and can be extracted. The higher boiling point gases can be extracted at different points on the column.
