Q19.

Briefly describe the principles of fractional distillation.

A19.

In fractional distillation, the components of a mixture of volatile liquids are separated by what can be considered to be a succession of simple distillations. The temperature gradient in the fractionating column allows this to occur. Fractional distillation relies on the phenomena that the concentration of the low boiling point component in the vapour over a mixture of volatile liquids is higher than in the liquid.As the mixture of liquids is heated in the distillation flask, the vapours that move up the fractionating column contain a higher concentration of the more volatile liquid. The vapours eventually reach a height in the fractionating column where the temperature is low enough for condensation to occur. As the condensed liquid moves back down the column it is reheated by vapours rising from the distillation flask. Some of this condensed liquid evaporates and the resulting vapour has an even higher concentration of the low boiling point substance. This process of evaporation and condensation is repeated many times. The concentration of the more volatile substance increases in each evaporation–condensation cycle. Once the vapour reaches the top of the fractionating column it will ideally consist of only the more volatile component. When the relatively pure component reaches the top of the fractionating column, the temperature remains relatively stable. The material that condenses over a small temperature range near the boiling point is collected once it has passed through the condenser.

Q20.

Methane undergoes a series substitution reactions with bromine to form a number of compounds with the following boiling points: bromomethane (3.6°C), dibromomethane (97°C), tribromomethane (150°C), and tetrabromomethane (190°C). Describe how you would obtain pure samples of each compound from the mixture.



A20.

The mixture of volatile liquids can be separated by fractional distillation. The mixture is placed in the distillation flask and heated. The most volatile compound (bromomethane) is the first to reach the top of the fractionating column and condense. The fraction condensing in a narrow range of temperatures around the boiling point 3.6°C is collected. Because this temperature is below that of room temperature, the receiving flask should be surrounded by ice to condense the liquid bromomethane. The next fraction to be collected at around 97°C will contain dibromomethane. Tribromomethane will be found in the fraction collected at 150°C. Tetrabromomethane will found in the fraction collected at 190°C.

A31.

The mixture of volatile liquids can be separated by fractional distillation. The mixture is placed in the distillation flask and heated. The components in the mixture are separated in order of their boiling points with the most volatile component, chloroethane, being the first fraction to condense. This is followed by the fraction containing1,1-dichloroethane. The fraction condensing in a narrow range of temperatures around the boiling point of 1,2-dichlorethane, 84°C, is then collected in a new receiving flask.

Q35.

Fractional distillation is an important laboratory technique.a What is fractional distillation used for?b Fractional distillation has been described as a series of simple distillations.

Explain.

A35.

a Fractional distillation is used to separate liquids that have different boiling points. It is commonly used in the laboratory to separate volatile liquids from a reaction mixture. Industrial applications of fractional distillation include: Separation of the fractions from crude oil. Production of oxygen and nitrogen by the fractional distillation of liquid air. Extraction of ethanol from water in the fermentation of sugar.

b The mixture of liquids is heated in the distillation flask. The vapours that move up the fractionating column contain a higher concentration of the more volatile liquid. The vapours eventually reach a height in the fractionating column where the temperature is low enough for condensation to occur. As the condensed liquid moves back down the column it is reheated by vapours rising from the distillation flask. Some of this condensed liquid evaporates and the resulting vapour has an even higher concentration of the low boiling point substance. This process of evaporation and condensation is repeated many times. The concentration of the more volatile substance increases in each evaporation–condensation cycle. At the same time the concentration of the less volatile (higher boiling point) substance in the distillation flask will increase. Once the vapour reaches the top of the fractionating column it will ideally consist of only the most volatile component.
