• Arrange the apparatus as shown in figure.

• Heat the mixture slowly keeping a close watch at the thermometer.  

• The acetone vapourizes, condenses in the condenser and can be collected from the condenser outlet

• Water is left behind in the distillation flask.

Criterion : Two miscible liquids that boil without decomposition and have sufficient difference in their boiling points can be separated by this method.
