Step 1

Fractional distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of liquids with different boiling points. In the case of methanol-water mixtures, methanol has a lower boiling point (64.7°C) compared to water (100°C). This difference in boiling points allows for Show more…

Discuss why fractional distillation is okay to be used in separating methanol-water mixtures. Additional question: To make the fractional distillation more efficient, we wrap the fractionating column with cotton and aluminum foil. What is the reason for doing this? Explain. II.
