What is fractional distillation?
A way of separating liquids that dissolve into each other (Miscible liquids)
How does distillation work?
It heats the solution, the solvent evaporates and is trapped and condensed leaving only the solute.
What is a compound?
Have a fixed ratio composition, chemical reactions must be used to separate them, there is bonds between the different elements.
What is a mixture?
No fixed ratio, can separate easily (physically), no chemical bonds.
