Hey mate...



QUESTION ==
What do you mean by distillation given two applications of distillation?

ANSWER ==
Distillation is the process of separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by selective boiling and condensation. ...Distillation has many applications.
For example:

Distillation of fermented products produces distilled beverages with a high alcoholcontent, or separates out other fermentation products of commercial value.

Distillation is an effective and traditional method of desalination.

In the fossil fuel industry, distillation is a major class of operation at oil refineries for transforming crude oil into fuels and chemical feed stocks.

Cryogenic distillation permits separation of air into its components – notably oxygen, nitrogen, and argon – for industrial use.

In the field of industrial chemistry, large amounts of crude liquid products of chemical synthesis are distilled to separate them, either from other products, or from impurities, or from unreacted starting materials.

I hope it will help you mate ☺️

Explanation:

When a mixture of liquids that have some difference in their boiling point (less that 25 degrees difference) when heated then liquid with small boiling point converts into vapors readily.

As a result, these vapors are then collected through condensation is a separate vessel leaving behind the other liquid.

Hence, both the liquids get separated out from each other. This process of separation is known as distillation process.

Two applications of distillation process are as follows.

  • In many alcohol beverages, distillation is used to separate ethanol from water.
  • Distillation is also used to separate hydrocarbons from petroleum in fuel companies.
