Question 4 What happens to the vapor in a fractionating column? The vapor condenses and drips back into the column with no vapor reaching the top of the column. The vapor passes the beads and does not condense until it reaches the condenser, The vapor repeatedly condenses on and evaporates from the beads, allowing more volatile liquids to reach the top of the column faster. The vapor adsorbs to the beads, which are collected in portions to preserve the separation of compounds. Question 5
