===About Fractional Distillation===
'''Fractional Distillation''' is only be used for:
*[[Separating Mixtures|Separating]] a [[solution]] to recover multiple [[solvent]]s.
'''Fractional Distillation''' cannot be used for:
*[[Separating Mixtures|Separating]] two [[solute]]s from each other in [[solution]] - [[Chromatography]]
*[[Separating Mixtures|Separating]] an [[insoluble]] [[solid]] from a [[soluble]] [[solid]] - [[Filtration]]
: '''Fractional Distillation''' relies on the different [[Boiling Point|boiling points]] of [[liquid]]s. By [[heating]] all [[liquid]]s beyond their [[Boiling Point]] they can be turned into a [[gas]]. Each [[gas]] can then be cooled and [[condensing|condensed]] in tubes kept just below the [[Boiling Point|boiling point]] of each fraction.
