Question

what is distillation. explain with example

Answer 1

Distillation is a process that can be used to separate a pure liquid from a mixture of liquids. It works when the liquids have different boiling points. Distillation is commonly used to separate ethanol - the alcohol in alcoholic drinks - from water.
Simple distillation. ... For example, water can be separated from salty water by simple distillation. This method works because the water evaporates from the solution, but is then cooled and condensed into a separate container. The salt does not evaporate and so it stays behind.

⭕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.
