Question

what is distillation ?

Answer 1

$\huge{HEY!!}$

__________________________________

⭕First of all we take a mixture of acetone and water in a distillation flask.

⭕Arrange the apparatus as shown in the figure.

⭕After that we heat the flask slowly tell the liquid starts boiling and the temperature of the liquid starts rising.

⭕The acetone vaporizers and condensers in the condenser and we can collect it from the condenser outlet.

⭕Temperature will remain constant tell all the Acetone and mixture is evaporated.

⭕When the temperature starts rising, stop heating the flask. You will observe that in the distillation flask only pure water is left.

⭕This method is called distillation. It is used for separation of components of a mixture containing two miscible liquids that boil without decomposition and their boiling point.

Answer 2

Distillation is the process in which the volatile (liquids that evaporate) is separated from non volatile impurities.

In fractional distillation Liquids that evaporate at different boiling points are separated by means of fractional column.
