Ultimately the goal of fractional distillation as opposed to simple distillation is to___ Obtain more fractions than you otherwise would have with simple distillation Obtain a better separation (i.e. purification) when boiling points are close to each other. Heat reactions far below their boiling points Heat reactions far above their boiling points Solution The correct option is to obtain a better separation (purification) when boiling points are close to each other Fractional distillation is preferred over simple distillation when a mixture containing a two or more solvents having very close boiling points. Fractional distillation allows these solvents separate effectively than the simple distillation. .

1. Ultimately the goal of fractional distillation as opposed to simple distillation is to___
Obtain more fractions than you otherwise would have with simple distillation
Obtain a better separation (i.e. purification) when boiling points are close to each other.
Heat reactions far below their boiling points
Heat reactions far above their boiling points
Solution
The correct option is to obtain a better separation (purification) when boiling points are
close to each other
Fractional distillation is preferred over simple distillation when a mixture containing a two or
more solvents having very close boiling points. Fractional distillation allows these solvents
separate effectively than the simple distillation.
