What is distillate in terms of methods in separating mixtures?

The distillate is a compound obtained by distillation.


Why does a rapid distillation lead to poor separation of components?

Rapid distillation leads to more carry over of the higher boiling point material.


In distillation a liquid and then condenses?

correct! distillation is the prosses of evaporating a liquid to purify it then recondence it back to a liquid. This prosses can be used for removing salt from water.


Sample of mixture that can be separated by distillation?

A type of Mixture in which Solute and Solvent Both are liquid can be separated by Distillation. It is done on the basis of their boiling point and if boiling point is below 25 C then fractional distillation is done.


What is the name of the process that separates crude oil into more useful substances?

Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation. The components of crude oil are separated by a process which is known as fractional distillation. Crude oil is made of different components whose sizes, weights and boiling temperatures are different from each other. When the crude oil is heated with high pressure steam at a high temperature, it boils and forms vapour. The vapour enters a fractional distillation column and settled in the trays of the column. The trays have holes in them which raise the contact time among the vapour and liquids. The vapour rises in the column and cools, the hotter substances settle at the bottom of the column and the cooler substances rise to the top of the column. The substances in the vapour condense and the fractions of liquid collect in the tray and pass to condensers and storage tanks.

Why can't we remove salt from ocean water?

We can. Available options include distillation and reverse osmosis. The problem with large scale application of this techniques is that they are expensive. On a smaller scale, most lifeboats have solar distillation units to provide fresh drinking water.


Are there other options to purify water other than using a filter?

One way to purify water without a filter is distillation. In distillation, water is boiled, and then the water vapor is cooled and it condenses as pure water. However, this can be more expensive than filtering water.


Is there a alternate method for distillation?

Yes, there are alternative methods to distillation such as fractional distillation, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. These methods are used depending on the specific properties of the substances being separated.
