How is boiling point used in chemistry?

If you know a boiling point, you can separate two different liquids that are mixed together. If the two liquids have different boiling points, you can boil them both. One of the liquids will reach its boiling point before the other liquid and start to evaporate. One of the liquids will have evaporated and will be separated from the liquid with the higher boiling point. This is called distillation. Jarachia ~ x

What is azotropic distillation?

Sometime when you try to purify a liquid through distillation, you will reach a point where both liquids boil off at the same rate. Your distilate will always have the same ratio of your liquids no mater what you do. These mixtures are called azotropic mixtures. This can be usefull in some cases if you want a product from a reaction to be distilled with its solvent. This would be an azotropic distillation.
