What is the main difference between simple distillation and fractional distillation?
Simple distillation separates liquids with different boiling points, while fractional distillation separates liquids with the same boiling points.
Simple distillation is used for solids, fractional distillation is used for liquids.
Fractional distillation separates liquids with different boiling points, while simple distillation is for liquids with significantly different boiling points.
Fractional distillation requires a condenser, while simple distillation doesn't.
Explanation
Fractional distillation is used for separating liquids that have boiling points close together. Simple distillation can be used when the boiling points of liquids are far apart.
