Why don't salt particles make a gas during distillation?
This can be better understood when thinking about the states of matter. Salt (NaCl) has a very high melting point of 801 C (1474 F). In order for salt to turn from a solid to a liquid, it requires temperatures of greater than 800 C. For a compound to form a gaseous phase, it needs to vaporize (boil). The boiling point for salt is ridiculously high, 1413 C (2575 F). Distillation temperatures for salt water are usually around 100 C, the boiling point of water. At these temperatures salt will not even melt, let alone vaporize.
What career uses the process of distillation?
Chemical engineering involves the process of distillation to separate components of a mixture based on their boiling points. This is commonly used in industries such as oil refineries, pharmaceuticals, and beverage production.
Why would you use distillation?
Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid, or increase the purity of a liquid. For example, one can generally make highly pure water through distillation. Alcohols can also be concentrated with distillation which is used to make hard alcohols. One should note, however, that there are often contaminants that co-distill... so for example distilled spirits are rarely pure. Potentially heat-stable solids could also be distilled in some cases. Also see fractional distillation and reflux distillation.
Which is true about particles that make up solid matter?
The same particles of matter that make up a solid are also the same particles of matter that make up a gas or a liquid. Basically matter consists of atoms. At the simplest level, the particles of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons.
What are the tiny particles that make up a solid called?
They don't have a name except Particles, they are the same things which make up the liquid and gas

How do the particles that make up matter compare during physical and chemical changes?
During physical changes, the particles that make up matter remain the same and only their arrangement or state changes. In contrast, during chemical changes, the particles undergo a rearrangement or bonding at the atomic level, resulting in the formation of new substances with different properties.
What can you say about steam distillation?
It's the only way to make water completely pure. Distillation removes all impurities in water.
How do you make naptha?
Naphta is a distillation residue in petrochemical industry.
What process is used to make kerosene?

How do you make neutral ethanol?
The method is distillation and if necessary dehydration.
How do you make pure water from salty water?
through distillation or filtering
What career uses the process of distillation?

When is distillation going to be used?
It is used today to make saltwater drinkable when you are at sea
Definitions of sub atomic particles?
Sub-atomic particles are even smaller particles that make make an atom
What is advantages and disadvantages of distillation?
The distillation method's advantages are that it will make a pure result. The disadvantages are that the method is time consuming and is not cheap. The distilled method as a result is avoided unless needed.
What is the name of the process that separates the substances that make up crude oil?
fractional distillation.
