Question

what is distilation? list two conditions essential for using this as a method of seperation of components of a mixture

Answer 1

Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase. The gas is then condensed back into liquid form and collected.

Answer 2

Answer:

Two conditions essential for using distillation method are as follows.

The two liquids should be miscible with each other. This means that the two liquids should properly mix with each other. The difference in boiling point of the two liquids should be less than 25 degree celsius.
