What is Distillation?
Answers
Answer:
Distillation is a method of
obtaining pure liquid from a solution. The
solution is heated so that the liquid evaporates.
The vapours are then cooled. They condense to
give the pure liquid.
Distilled water used in laboratories is
obtained in this way. A special apparatusis used to get distilled water.
Water containing dissolved impurities is kept
in a flask. An apparatus, called the Liebig's
get condenser, is fitted to the flask to cool the
water vapour. Cold water is made to flow
through the condenser..
