Answer:
First, you need water or a solvent and then you need a substance such as sugar or salt to dissolve, also called the solute. The solvent and solute become one solution—a homogeneous mixture—in which you cannot see the difference between them anymore.

- In distillation, components of a liquid mixture are separated on the basis of the differences in their boiling temperatures. In its simplest form, distillation involves boiling the mixture and collecting the vapor in a condensation vessel, where it turns back into a liquid.
- Most methods of distillation used by industry and in laboratory research are variations of simple distillation. This basic operation requires the use of a still or retort in which a liquid is heated, a condenser to cool the vapour, and a receiver to collect the distillate
