DISCUSSION CLUES
1. Is there a sufficient difference in the boiling
points of acetone and water?
2. Is there sufficient difference in the boiling
points of ethanol and water?
3. Is there a sufficient difference between
ethanol and methanol?
4. If there is not sufficient difference in the
boiling points of liquids can it be separated
with same method used for separating
others?
ACTIVITY 2
Teacher give the apparatus used for separating two
completely miscible liquid have slight difference in
their boiling points (methanol+ ethanol)
Petroleum can be separated from crude oil
Yes
Yes
no
no
DISCUSSION CLUES
1. The vapour which is formed by boiling the
mixture passes through which?
2. Which component vaporizes first?
3. What happens in the fractionating column?
4. What changes occur in the condenser?
5. Which liquid is first collected in the conical
flask?
6. Can we collect the liquid having boiling point
in the same manner?
CONCEPT TO BE CONSOLIDATE
In such a situation in which there is only slight
difference in the boiling points of the components,
the liquids having the least boiling points of the
components the liquids having the least boiling point
enters the condenser in vapour form first. It
condenses and get collected in vessels. If there are
more than two components in the mixture they can
also be separated on the basis of the increasing order
of their boiling points. This method is called fractional
distillation.
APPLICATION LEVEL EXPERIENCE
Explain how can you separate petrol from crude oil
1. Fractionating column
2. Liquid having least boiling point
3. The vapour formed by the boiling of the
mixture rises up through the
fractionating column condenses at the
respective layers and turns into liquid.
4. The methanol which has low boiling
point enters the condenser in vapour
form condenses into liquid.
5. The liquid having low boiling point
6. Yes

4. Components in a mixture can be separated on the basis of which properties of the components?
5. Which component is separated first from the mixture of methanol and ethanol?
ASSIGNMENT
