distillation is used to separate solutions of different boiling points

though often complete separation of solutions can't be achieve due to azotrops

example - when separating water and ethanol the fluid with the highest boiling point is ~97% ethanol ~3% water due entropic considerations

Which distillation separates azeotropic mixtures?

Fractional distillation is typically used to separate azeotropic mixtures by taking advantage of the differences in boiling points of the components to separate them at different stages of the column.


Is distillation is used to separate heterogeneous mixtures?

yes


Is distillation used to separate by colloids?

No, distillation is not used to separate colloids. Distillation is a separation technique that is used to separate components of a liquid mixture based on differences in their boiling points. Colloids are mixtures where particles are dispersed throughout a medium but do not settle out, and they require other separation techniques such as filtration or centrifugation.


Distillation can be used separate solutions of miscible liquids because?

Distillation can be used to separate solutions of miscible liquids, because the liquids have different boiling points. Distillation works because it vaporizes the more volatile of the two liquids.
