A distillation flask is a piece of laboratory equipment that holds a substance to be distilled. The advantage of using a distillation flask whose capacity is greater than volume of liquid is the loss of heat.

What is a tribikos?

In brief, it's a three-beaked distillation column or still, originally designed by the Alexandrian alchemist Mary the Prophetess for distilling minerals and plants. This is used in serious alchemy, not the turning-lead-to-gold nonsense.


Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?

no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.


Is iron a solution?

In tap water, you will most likely find iron. In distilled or deionized water, no.


What is the material used as a base for bacterial culture media?

Agar is the material commonly used as the solidifying agent for bacterial culture media. It provides a solid surface for bacteria to grow on and is derived from seaweed. For liquid media, distilled water is typically used as the base.


What happens when pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution?

When pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution, the boiling point of the water/solution will increase. This means that the liquid will need to reach a higher temperature before it boils. Conversely, if the pressure decreases below atmospheric pressure, the boiling point will decrease, requiring a lower temperature for boiling to occur.

Why is separation by filering better than distilling?

Filtering is when a (cold) liquid is slowly passed through a filter, to remove impurities. Distilling is the heating of a liquid into steam (vapour) that is led away and condensed back into a liquid, so leaving impurities behind. Therefore, distilling, because of the need for heat, is more expensive to do, though may be better if a large volume is to be processed.


Why is it dangerous to distill low boiling point liquid like tuba using a Bunsen burner?

Using a Bunsen burner for distilling low boiling point liquids like tuba can be dangerous because the high heat intensity of the Bunsen burner can cause rapid boiling and potentially result in violent eruptions or splattering of the liquid. This can lead to burns or fire hazards due to the volatile nature of the liquid being distilled. It is safer to use controlled heat sources with lower intensity for distilling low boiling point liquids.


What is distilling liquor?

Boiling a fermented liquid and then condensing and capturing the alcohol as it cools.


What is a distilling machine called?

A distilling machine is typically called a distillation apparatus or a still. It is used to separate components of a liquid mixture based on their different boiling points.

What kinds of mixtures can be separated by distillation?

Fluid mixtures, and mixtures of substances in different phases, that differ in their boiling points, can be separated by distillation. For instance: Sand and water (solid/water mix) by evaporating (distilling) the water away from the sand. Alcohol and water (liquid/liquid solution) can be fractionally distilled, collecting the alcohol first and then the water, which boils at a higher temperature. CO2 and water (gas/liquid solution) can be be fractionally distilled also. Evaporating sea water (solid/liquid solution) to crystallize the salt, although, this leaves a mixture of salts which can't be separated by normal distillation.


The alcohol content of whiskey can be increased by distilling because?

distilling removes water and increases the concentration of alcohol in the liquid. The process involves heating the liquid to separate the alcohol from other components, resulting in a higher alcohol content.


What is the traditional method of distilling Croatian liquor rakia and how is it typically enjoyed in Croatian culture?

Traditional Croatian rakia is typically distilled from fermented fruits such as plums, grapes, or apricots. The process involves fermenting the fruit, distilling the liquid, and aging it in wooden barrels. Rakia is often enjoyed as a digestif after meals or during social gatherings in Croatian culture. It is commonly served in small shot glasses and sipped slowly to savor the flavors.
