Several things evaporate: the first is methanol, a toxic form of alcohol. Distillers throw this "first run" out. At a slightly higher temperature, ethanol will evaporate. Once condensed, that is the liquid which we all know as drinkable alcohol. Depending on the temperature of the distiller's still, water will evaporate next. After that, processing and ingredients determine the type of liquor made.

How is distillation used to make alcohol pure?
Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, so it can be condensed separately out of an aqueous solution. When it evaporates, alcohol is removed directly from solutions that contain solid impurities.
How do you separate kerosene and petrol?
Fractional distillation is used to separate the components of petroleum. Petrol (gasoline) evaporates at a lower temperature than kerosene evaporates at.
How distillation is carried out in alcohol?
Distillation in alcohol production is typically carried out using a still. The mixture, such as fermented grains, fruits, or vegetables, is heated in the still, causing the alcohol to vaporize. The vapors then rise through the still into a condenser, where they cool and condense back into a liquid form. This process separates the alcohol from other contaminants and results in a higher concentration of alcohol.
How do you separate water alcohol and acetone?

What is examples of distillation?

What is the difference between distillation and fermentation?
what is the difference between fermentation and distillation? Distillation- the separation of alcohol from a fermented liquid by heating to vaportize the alcohol, then condensing the vapors. Fermentation- The action of yeast upon sugar in a solution, which breaks down the sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol
What is pot distillation?
pot distillation is a method or a procedure through which alcohol is being obtained from a an alcoholic wort.
How do you separate petrol from alcohol?
Distillation is an adequate method.
How would you separate an alcohol-water solution into pure alcohol and pure water?
distillation
Why does perfume dry up when left open?
