The distillation of sea water is it physical or chemical change?
I think it is a physical change because it doesn't have a change in the element.
What is the physical process occurring inside the fractionating column?
The process is distillation based on vaporization.
Is processes a physical or chemical property?
A process is not a property; and a process may be physical or chemical.
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Dissolving salt into water is it physical or chemical change?
This is a physical change. You can separate the salt and water by the physical process of distillation or evaporation where the water is boiled away and the salt is left behind.
Is distillation a physical or chemical process?
physical
The distillation of sea water is it physical or chemical change?

When salt water is being distilled is this a physical or chemical change?
Distillation is a physical process.
Is distillation a chemical or physical property?
No. By which I mean it's not a "property" at all, it's a process.
What chemical process will separate a compound?
It is a physical process as it is revesible. Chemist John Thanks
What part of fractional distillation is physical?
Distillation is a physical process.
Does distillation produce a chemical or a physical change in petroleum?
it is a physical change
Does distillation produce chemical change or a physical change?
physical change because part changes to a liquid or solid, while another part changes to a gas - however the substance is only changing state, so it would be a physical change
Is separation of 2 liquids by distillation a physical change?
Yes, separation of two liquids by distillation is a physical change. It involves the process of heating a mixture of liquids to vaporize one of the components, and then condensing the vapor back into a liquid form. This process does not involve any chemical reactions or changes in the chemical composition of the substances.
Explain why distillation is a good way to separate C8H18 and C5H12 liquids?
both of these are liquid hydrocarbons so have the same chemical properties therefore can not beseparated by chemical means by physical means their separation is not possible by filtration because both are miscible so only method to separate them is fractional distillation because they have different boiling points.
What is the physical process occurring inside the fractionating column?
The process is distillation based on vaporization.
What is the importance of unit operation and unit process?
A unit operation involves a physical change examples drying, size reduction, distillation, filtration etc. where as unit process involves a chemical change or sometime it refered as chemical changes along with physical change example production of paracetamol from benzene.
