Distillation

• Distillation- a process that uses evaporation followed by condensation to separate a solvent from a solution

• How does distillation work?

  It works because the parts of the mixture have different boiling points.

  • The mixture is heated and the substance with the lowest boiling point will evaporate first , this substance then enters the condenser where it is cooled and condensed and is collected in a beaker
  • The pure liquid collected is called the distillate.
• • Fractional Distillation can be used to separate a mixture or two more miscible (mixable) liquids.
  • The fractionating column improves separation of the mixture , it separates different components as they have different boiling points , where each different substance is called a fraction
• What is simple distillation?

  • A process of purifying a liquid compound by heating it into a vapour that is then condensed back into a liquid, is a separation technique to separate a soluble solute from a solvent
• Distillation is a separation technique used to separate a soluble solute from a solvent
