Explain why the column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned as near to the vertical as possible

1 answer:

7 0

The column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned vertical to get better separation because the column is essentially longer. It will prevent channeling in the column. Therefore column efficiency will be higher if it is as vertical as possible instead of tilted. Distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of two (or more) components. In a typical fractional distillation, a liquid mixture is heated in the distilling flask and the process begins.

A piece of iron is heated with a torch to a temperature of 603 k.

Mazyrski [523]

This question asks to compare the energy emitted by a piece of iron at T = 603K with the energy emitted by the same piece at T = 298K.

Then you need to use the Stefan–Boltzmann Law

That law states that energy emitted (E) is proportional to fourth power of the to the absolute temperature (T), this is E α T^4 (the sign α is used to express proportionallity.

Then E (603) / E (298) = [603K / 298K]^4 = 16,8

Which meand that the Energy emitted at 603 K is 16,8 times the energy emitted at 298K.
