Fractional Distillation Worksheet


This worksheet accompanies the presentation Fractional Distillation.ppt

1. Complete the passage below by crossing out the incorrect answers.

During refining, compounds in the oil are separated into groups called fuels/fractions.
Each fraction contains a mix of compounds with a similar number/the same number of
carbon atoms. Fractional distillation separates the fractions based on their colour/their
boiling point. The longer chain hydrocarbons have lower/high boiling points
and are collected towards the bottom/top of the fractionating column.

2. On the column below, add the name of each fraction next to where it would be
collected in the fractionating column.

3. Complete the following passage.

In general, the ………………… the hydrocarbon chain, then the higher the boiling point of the
compound. This is because the intermolecular forces between large molecules are
………………. than the intermolecular forces between small molecules. More ……………….. is
needed to break the forces between large molecules, and so the boiling point is higher.

4. Complete the following table.

hydrocarbon number of carbon atoms use

LPG

5-10

naphtha 5-9

10-16 aircraft fuel

lubricating oil 20-50

fuel oil 20-70

> 70
