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.


Which method is used to separate parts of a solution when the entire solution can pass through a filter?

There are a number of different ways to separate the parts of a mixture of liquids. Since the liquids in question usually have different boiling points, they can be separated by means of distillation. If they have significantly different densities, it may be possible to separate them be means of a centrifuge. The liquid can be poured onto paper and separated by means of chromatography, based on the different rates at which different substances diffuse through paper. In some cases freezing, rather than boiling, can be used as a means of distillation.


How would you separate two liquids in a mixture that have different boiling points?

One rather simplified example is the fractional distillation of crude oil to produce a wide range of petroleum products: diesel, petrol, plastics, and so on. The fractional distillation process depends on the boiling points of the various liquids required.


Why kitchen is called a Science laboratory?

Its usually just sloppy use of language ... BUT if you understand what you're doing (rather than just following a recipe), then you can treat cooking as an experiment.


What process is used to get pure water from salt water?

There are three popular ways to produce drinking water from salt water.These are vapor distillation, freeze distillation and reverse osmosis. The vapor distillation method is pretty familiar to people who have watched a kettle boil.The vapor from the spout, the 'steam', if cooled, produces considerably fresher water than the source. If the process is repeated, the output is purified. Freeze distillation is interesting. As a pan of water begins to freeze, the first water to freeze 'pushes out' the impurities which are concentrated into an impure liquid which freezes last, usually. If the first frozen ice is rechilled, the output is purified. The reverse osmosis method is rather like a microscopic filter membrane. Salt water under high pressure allows water molecules to squeeze through, while larger salt molecules are held back.

How do i find the sum of outcomes in probability?

Select an experiment that has a random result rather than one that is deterministic. The result of the experiment is the outcome of the probabilistic experiment.


On some international show I saw a home with an electric shower and the people were happy to see it. How do they work and are they available in the US?

An electric shower heats the water right at the level of the shower head rather than depending on the heating of a water heater. They work well in areas with extremely low water pressure and they use less electricity than an electric water heater. They are rarely seen in the US or Canada and I didn't find any retailers that sold them, but you can purchase them online.


Why do you prefer to cook food on an electric heater rather than firewood?

we should conserve fuel .finding a supplier of good burning wood is harder..using firewood for cooking gives out smoke leading to air pollution


Why does white smoke come out of your vents when you turn on your heater in your car?

If it is smoke the heater fan motor has failedORElectronics in the heater have failed ORif it smells like anti freeze rather than smoke the heater core has failed.


Why are electric heaters used in so many houses?

Electric heaters are a popular choice with people who are looking to reduce home heating costs. Many people spend the majority of time in one or two rooms. Rather than turn up the thermostat which would result in higher overall costs, they choose to purchase an electric heater which can warm up a small area for much less.

How big a job is changing the heater core in a 1998 venture?

Sometimes changing a heater core can be a very big job. It is not changing the core that is hard, rather getting to it. Good luck.

What are the estimates on electric heating yearly?

Every electric heater (by law) must state the etimated cost to run for a year. The question is hard to answer because this depends on the size of the home, and rather or not you have tall ceilings. Your utility company may be able to provide an estimate based on past billings for a similar home. In Arizona, we find heating/gas and air conditioning/gas averages $200/month.
