Separation of the Constituents of Mixtures - Distillation - Distillation is a method used to separate a solute and a solvent from a solution. In evaporation, vaporization takes place and only the solute is obtained. However, distillation is actually a combined pro..

Due to the small difference in the boiling points, both liquids form vapors simultaneously. Vapors of the boiling liquid mixture are made to pass through a glass fractionating column. The fractionating column is a simple packed column, packed with glass beads, or it is a specially designed column ..

It is the most important of the fossil fuels. Petroleum occurs under the Earth's crust. It is believed to have formed due to the bacterial action of decomposition on marine animals and prehistoric forests inside the Earth, under conditions of high temperature and pressure. Petroleu..

It is believed that coal in nature was formed from the remains of the trees buried inside the earth some 500 million years ago. Due to the bacterial and chemical action on the wood, it got converted into peat. Then, as a result of high temperature and high pressure inside the earth peat ..

Introduction - Man's quest for sources of energy is inexhaustible. Early man depended mainly on muscular energy and later began to use wind and flowing water as sources of energy. He learned the art of making and controlling fire. Fire became his source of light at night. He used fire for warmth an..

Crude oil or petroleum pumped out of an oil well, is a viscous and complex mixture of several hydrocarbons and small amounts of other compounds. It is not useful in this state. The 'refining of (crude) petroleum' involves the process of fractional distillation..
