How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
How is distillation similar to the water cycle?
Distillation helps in purifying water. Water cycle brings rain which is purest form of water.
Why distillation is not used often for cleaning water?
Because when water is distilled it losses all the essentials salts and minerals.
What countries use distillation?
Examples for seawater distillation (desalination): Malta, countries from the Arabian Peninsula, Algeria, Chile, etc. See the link below. - - - - - All countries use distillation. Whether they are distilling crude oil into gasoline, grain mash into liquor, water to get impurities out of it, or whatever else they may need, distillation is used everywhere.
Can distillation work to separate sand and sugar?
Yes, separating sand from water be done by distillation.
Why did the water need to be distilled and not from the tap?
Distillation is a method to obtain pure products, including water.
What is one disadvantage of using distillation as a mean of desalination?
When poorer countries need to get water, they use distillation. This is basically purifying water, using large amounts of electricity and money.

How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
How can you separate out water from rubbing alcohol?
Isopropanol and water form an azeotrope, so you can't use straight distillation. You need to use an azeotropic distillation technique (see the Wikipedia link for details on how this works).
How is distillation similar to the water cycle?
Distillation helps in purifying water. Water cycle brings rain which is purest form of water.
What are the separation techniques for separating salt water from seawater?
Distillation can be used to separate water from salt water.
How is distillation of water similar to the water cycle?
It's similar because in the distillation process and the water cycle have evaporation and condensation.
How do you separate water alcohol and acetone?
fractional distillation
What is used to separate fractional distillation?
Yuo need a distillation instalation.
Can steam Distillation remove Pharmaceuticals from water?
Careful distillation, that produces pure water, removes all impurities.
What mixture can be applied by distillation?
salt dissolved in water can b applied by distillation.
