State whether you would want to use a fractional or simple distillation for each of the cases below. Assume the mixture contains a 1:3 mixture of two components A and B, where component A is the lower boiling point component. Briefly explain each of your answers. 1. You need a really pure sample of component A. 2. You just need each component to be at least 85% pure and want the MAXIMUM amount of distillate out.

Why is it important to perform a fractional distillation slowly? What happens if a fractional distillation is done very quickly by rapidly raising the temperature of the heat source?
Please answer the question at the bottom. Fractional distillation Measure 55 mL of 40% ethanol Place 50 mL of ethanol in your distilling flask taking care that no liquid enters the side arm. Place the remaining 5 mL of ethanol in a test tube and set aside for procedure 2. Add a few marble or porcelain chips to the distilling flask to prevent bumping. Bumping is a term given to irregular boiling Assemble the rest of the apparatus for a simple distillation set-up. You may ask assistance from your instructor Cover the top of the distilling flask with a cork fitted with a thermometer. Make sure that the tip of the thermometer bulb is just below the side arm of the distillation flask Check all connections for tightness Heat the contents of the flask to boiling. Adjust the flame when the sample is already boiling. Make sure that it does not boil to dryness. Note the temperature of the first drop. Collect 60 drops of distillate per test tube. You will need 5 test tubes, thus five…
