. Two components have boiling points of 130 C and 150 C. Estimate the number of theoretical plates needed to separate these substances in a fractional distillation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 plates are needed

Explanation:

The two components would have a boiling difference of 150°C - 130°C = 20°C

This implies the boiling difference is very low, therefore, 10 theoretical plates would be needed to separate the the two components in a fractional distillation column
