It is a physical process used for the preparation of very pure water.
Water is heated to its boiling point, the vapours are collected and condensed.
The original vessel contains non volitile inorganic salts and high boiling organics (+100oC) and the receiving container contains water and low boiling organics (-100oC). Some volitle inorganics like ammonia may be present.

∙ 11y agoThe purpose of distillation is to remove impurities by heat. It would make the water purer because the impurities have different boiling (or even melting points) than that of water.

Is there two changes of state in distillation?
The changes of state that happen during distillation are: Liquid to a gas and gas to a liquid
What are the separation techniques for separating salt water from seawater?
Distillation can be used to separate water from salt water.
How do you separate water alcohol and acetone?
fractional distillation
Can steam Distillation remove Pharmaceuticals from water?
Careful distillation, that produces pure water, removes all impurities.
How do you collect ethanol if it is in a mixture with water?
Distillation. Ethanol can be easily collected from water using distillation up to 97% purity.
Is there two changes of state in distillation?
The changes of state that happen during distillation are: Liquid to a gas and gas to a liquid
What are the two changes involed in distillation?
These changes are boiling and condensation.
What are the uses of distillation?
Distillation is used to separate pure water from a thicker liquid substance, such as ink. It does this by heating the water, which then evaporates and rises, leaving the ink. It then travels down a tube, surrounded by a condenser which changes it from water vapor back to water, and then it falls into a beaker at the other end.
How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
How is distillation similar to the water cycle?
Distillation helps in purifying water. Water cycle brings rain which is purest form of water.
What are the separation techniques for separating salt water from seawater?
Distillation can be used to separate water from salt water.
How is distillation of water similar to the water cycle?
It's similar because in the distillation process and the water cycle have evaporation and condensation.
How do you separate water alcohol and acetone?
fractional distillation
Can steam Distillation remove Pharmaceuticals from water?
Careful distillation, that produces pure water, removes all impurities.
What mixture can be applied by distillation?
salt dissolved in water can b applied by distillation.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of distillation?
The advantages and disadvantages of distillation are quite vast. On advantage of distillation is that the water is pure and will not conduct electricity.
What are some riddles about distillation?
water is blue, distillation is too, you think its happy, but its sad, you know distillation, is really rad
