you can find water distillers in many home for private use. They are very modern and nice looking things made of stainless steel and provide a source of clean water.
it works by sending water throug a hose from the regular home water line to the pot of the distiller. There as the water evaporates the pressura tha builds leaves trough a tiny hole in form of a serpentine where a fan cools down the vapor a few degrees and it becomes water again. This time rid of anything it had. If you clean the pot one a month dependinig on the condition of your tap water you will see with your eye the material that doesn't evaporate at the temperature of water so actually all you clean out of the pot is what you sttoped drinking when you begin using a water destiler.

What is the technique used to separate a solvent from a solution.?
The simplest method is distillation.
What is the advantage of simple distillation to fractional distillation?
Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.
Could you compare and contrast simple from steam distillation in terms of type of mixtures separated?
Simple and steam distillation are similar in that they use boiling to separate organic components. Simple distillation boils them off at their boiling points, then condenses them. Steam distillation uses water mixed with the compounds to lower their boiling points and avoid decomposing them by heat.
Which distillation separates azeotropic mixtures?
azeotropic distillation is used
What is the problem with using a simple distillation apparatus a glass tube?
The problem with distillation is how to turn all of the hot vapour back into liquid. A simple distillation experiment using just a glass tube as a condenser, rather than a Liebig one, loses most of the steam.

difference between simple and fractional distillation?
The key difference between fractional and simple distillation is that fractional distillation is used when the components in the mixture have closer boiling points, while simple distillation is used when the components in the mixture have a large difference in their boiling points

In what situation would you use fractional distillation over simple distillation?
You would use simple distillation when the two products you are trying to separate have large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is needed when the two products have very close boiling points (like Hexane and toluene). In petroleum refining, the word "fractionation", not "fractional distillation" is used, often interchangeably with "distillation". When we have a crude mixture of different compounds which have very minor difference in their boiling points and cannot be separated simple distillation, then fractional distillation is used. Differenciation of components of petroleum is done by this process
Uses of simple distillation?
Distillation is a method in chemistry to separate substances from a mixture according to their level of vitality. some examples of distillation are alcohol distillery, distilled water, production of gasoline, paraffin, kerosene etc.
Why distillation is used in purifying water?
Simple, straightforward, needs no chemicals - just heat.
How is simple distillation useful?
for santa clause

How is distillation used in the lab?
With the help of distillation process.
How fractional distillation is used?
Fractional distillation is used to separe the components of a liquid.
How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
What is the difference between simple distillation and fractional distillation?
Simple distillation refers to the "simple" separation of a solid and a liquid by evaporating the liquid and collecting it after it passes through a condenser to be changed into a liquid state. Fractional distillation refers to the more complex way of separation, usually involving a liquid/liquid mixture (eg. ethanol and water). these can be separated since they both have different boiling points. When this mixture is heated the ethanol having the lowest boiling point boils off first, followed by the water. However the fractional coulomb condenses both gases back into liquid, and fall back in the flask, with time the ethanol gains enough energy to over come the fractional coulomb (this happen before the water does this since ethanol has a LOWER boiling point) and pass through the condenser, changes into a liquid and is collected.
