Question

How could equipment be improved to provide a better fractional disillation?

Answer 1

Fractional distillation is used to separate pure compounds from mixture based on the boiling points of different compounds

It can be improved by increasing the surface area of the fractionating column.this increase the purity of the compounds and efficiency of the column.

Increasing the surface area of the column, make the vapours slow down as they move up the column. The longer the vapors take to reach the top of the column , the higher is the purity of the fraction and greater the efficiency of the column.
