Distillation

Cards (3)

  • Simple distillation
    Used to separate a liquid from a mixture, but when we want to keep the liquid
  • Why can’t we use distillation for mixtures that contain different liquids
    If the liquid have similar boiling points they may evaporate at the same time
  • Fractionating columns used in lab fraction distillation are filled with glass rods to provide a large surface area therefore causing gases to condense back into liquid if the temp is below their boiling point
