How can distillation be used to prepare pure water from tap water?

You just need to boil water and condense and collect the steam somewhere else. It is the condensing and collecting the steam that is the tricky part, and they make chemical glassware specifically designed to do this efficiently. Without this glassware, it would be very hard to distill water on a large scale (more than a liter of water would be very difficult for instance).

∙ 10y agoYes. In fact, you don't need to start with something as clean as tap water; you can make distilled water out of sea water or pond water or, for that matter, the moister sorts of mud (though it plays havoc with your pot if you do, so I'd suggest at least filtering it first).

How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
Why is pure zinc not used to prepare hydrogen gas?
Because using pure zinc is expensive. All you need is water and a power supply.
Why distillation is not used often for cleaning water?
Because when water is distilled it losses all the essentials salts and minerals.
Which one can be used to separate lead nitrate from water evaporation or distillation?
Distillation is a form of evaporation, so either will be fine.
Why does distillation work for converting seawater to fresh water?
Distillation is a process of purification by means of heating, often to boiling to a gas, then cooling back into a liquid. In this process, the salt doesn't even melt until the water's already a gas, and as such is left over during the boiling.

How do you convert seawater into pure water?
The most used procedure is distillation.
Why is distillation used in chemistry?
>to get a pure sustance (such as water from sea water) >to separate alcohol from water to make distilled spirits such as vodka, >to extract essential oils from plants >to divide crude oil into all of its different components (paraffin, tar, and all of the other substances used as fuel that are extracted)
What methods used to prepare water for various uses?
One method used to prepare water for various purposes, such as drinking, include filtration. Other methods used include chlorination and distillation.

Distillation is the method used to seperate what?
A liquid from a solid (evaporation of water to create pure water), One liquid from another (alcohol in wine from the water to make spirits).
What is distillation and where is it used?
Distillation is evaporating a liquid and collecting the condensed form. It is used to purify water and make liquids pure and to also separate a mixture, for example, get salt from salt water and have then in separate containers. People in wineries use it to make alcohol stronger.
What is the distillation of water and ink useful for?
Not a lot. But distillation is used to separate the components of a mixture. A scenario where distillation of urine for example is useful is if you are stranded in a desert. You can find a way to distill your urine so that the water in it evaporates and condenses so that you have pure drinkable water... Distillation of ink however is not very useful unless you wanted to identify different parts of ink
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.
Why is pure zinc not used to prepare hydrogen gas?
Because using pure zinc is expensive. All you need is water and a power supply.
Why would you use distillation?
Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid, or increase the purity of a liquid. For example, one can generally make highly pure water through distillation. Alcohols can also be concentrated with distillation which is used to make hard alcohols. One should note, however, that there are often contaminants that co-distill... so for example distilled spirits are rarely pure. Potentially heat-stable solids could also be distilled in some cases. Also see fractional distillation and reflux distillation.
