The number of theoretical plates is crucial for a good separation in fractional distillation, but is not the only factor that would effect the results of the degree of separation. Give one other factor that can contribute to the success of fractional distillation? PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER!
Another factor which can contribute to the success of fractional distillation is difference in boiling points of liquids.
If the difference in boiling points of liquids is more then they can be separated by fractional distillation easily. If the difference in boiling points of liquids is less that means liquids have similar boiling points the it is difficult to separate the liquids by using fractional distillation though there is more number of theoretical plates.
