Answer 1

Answer:

distillation, process involving the conversion of a liquid into vapour that is subsequently condensed back to liquid form. It is exemplified at its simplest when steam from a kettle becomes deposited as drops of distilled water on a cold surface.

Explanation:

Answer 2

• Distillation is the process of turning a liquid into a vapour, which is then condensed back into a liquid.
• When steam from a kettle condenses when distilled water drops on a cold surface, it is demonstrated at its most basic level.
• Distillation separates liquids from nonvolatile solids, such as alcoholic liquors from fermented materials, or two or more liquids with differing boiling points, such as gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oil from crude oil.
• Processing of chemical compounds such as formaldehyde and phenol, as well as desalination of saltwater, are examples of other industrial uses.

• Early experimenters appear to have used the distillation method.
• Pure water is created through the evaporation of seawater, according to Aristotle (384–322 BCE).
• Pliny the Elder (23–79 CE) described a crude technique of condensation in which the oil created by heating rosin is collected on wool put in the upper section of a still.
