How does distillation separate a solvent from a solute?

Answer 1

The solution is heated to the boiling point and the solvent is collected as its a gas condenses

Answer 2

Answer 3

The separation occurs due to the different boiling temperatures of the solute and solvent. By heating the mixture to a temperature that is in between the boiling points of the solvent and solute you can collect the one with the lower boiling point as it vaporizes.

Answer 4

Is there a way of separating two liquids that are mixed together

without losing either of them? ! ere is a way if one of the liquids

evaporates more easily than the other. Distillation is the process of

heating a solution of two or more liquids until one liquid evaporates

into a gas. ! e gas is then trapped and cooled until it becomes a liquid

again

Answer 5

Distillation makes use of the fact that different substances usually have different boiling points, so if you heat a mixture of different compounds, you will get vapor consisting of just one compound, if you have heated the mixture to the boiling point of the compound with the lowest boiling point, and you can do this step by step, boiling off each compound in order of increasing boiling points. Although in many cases, you are just separating two liquids, such as alcohol and water (in the process of making distilled beverages).

Answer 6

The solvent is evaporated by heating, cooled and collected as a pure substance.
