• Fractional distillation will be covered in the next video
• Solution


  Liquid with a dissolved solid
• Simple distillation can be used to produce drinking water from sea water
• A great deal of energy is required for simple distillation
• Generally, simple distillation is not used to produce drinking water, other techniques are used instead
