How do reflux and fractional distillation apparatus’ differ from one another structurally? Why would we want to use a reflux over a distillation?

Expert Solution

In case of reflux condensor, the liquid is boiled, but the vapor is allowed to condense and flow back into the original flask. Reflux condensor are straight and placed vertically above the flask.

In case of distillation, a liquid is heated until it is boiling and the vapors which are produced are condensed and collected in a separate flask. Distilation apparatus are bent type, where the vapours travel along the bending and gets collected in a separated flask.

Why would we want to use a reflux over a distillation? This part is an incomplete question.

Reflux condensor and distillation apparatus are used for completely different purposes.

Is there a minimum reflux ratio for the batch distillation? If so, how can we determine it experimentally? Please help me with this. I'm not sure since batch operates like one stage but the slope of the rectifying section is the same? Is it the same way as finding Rmin for Continuous distillation? Thanks!

calculate the mole fraction of a fractional distillation? How do I find the mole fractions of different distillations given only the refractive index, the temperature and which the distillation was acquired, and the makeup on the original solution before distillation? the lab manual says to use P= (px * mol frac x)+(py * mol frac y) but i don't know how I can find their partial pressure given that I don't know their mole fractions of the distillation since partial...
