The process of evaporation(boiling) and condensation at the same time (simultaneously) to get pure liquid from a solution is known as Distillation.
Distillation is the method of separating a mixture into its component parts by use of the difference in their boiling points. It normally involves heating the mixture to a temperature at some point just over the boiling point of one, but well below the boiling point of the other. This makes the first one 'boil off', where it can be collected or discarded, and leaves the other in the original container. The method is often used in oil refinery (fractional distillation is used to split out the different compounds in crude oil) and in liquor and alcoholic beverage creation (to adjust the alcohol content).

What does the term azeotrope mean?
Azeotropes are binary mixtures having same composition in liquid state as well as vapor state and boil at constant temperatures. Liquids forming azeotropes cannot be separated using common techniques like Fraction Distillations. There are two types of Azeotropes.
What happened to the water after filtering?
After filtering muddy water, the mud is left behind as a sludge. If the filter is not frequently cleaned of this sludge, the filtering efficiency is reduced, even to stop altogether.
What are the functions of Erlenmeyer flask?
Erlenmeyer flasks are commonly used in laboratories for holding, mixing, and heating liquids. They have a conical shape that allows for swirling without spilling, making them ideal for titrations and other experiments where mixing is required. Erlenmeyer flasks also have a narrow neck that can accommodate rubber stoppers or tubing for airtight reactions or distillations.
What is a heating mantle and how do you use it?
A heating mantle is the best way to heat a liquid in a round bottom flask. The heating mantle can be either rigid or soft, but heats the flask by heating an electric coil which surrounds the round bottom flask. Heating mantles come in different sizes to best match the size of the found bottom flask for a snug fit around the entire bottom of the flask. They are commonly used in distillations and other heated reactions.A heating mantle if much better than a hot plate because the heating mantle makes contact with the entire bottom surface of a round bottom flask. It is also much better than a Bunsen burner for heating flammable liquids.See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for more information.
Why is triple distilled vodka better than just distilled?
As it was explained to me at the Jameson Distillery in Ireland, triple distillation involves three distillation steps. Distillation involves heating a liquid that has alcohol in it to the point that the alcohol (which boils at a lower temperature than water) evaporates and is captured before it condenses back into the liquid from which it came. Second and third distillations heat the captured alcohol under narrower and narrower heat ranges to make sure that only the alcohol remains. Many impurities are removed by this process and the result is a much smoother liquor. All Irish whiskey is triple distilled. Scotch whiskey is double distilled and most Bourbon (sour mash) is only distilled once (however there are notable exceptions). In a taste test many years ago several bartenders were given several different vodkas (without knowing which one was which). Which one won? Pure grain alcohol (200 proof) was the winner. But you can't buy it because 1) it can cause alcohol poisoning very quickly, and 2) it is extremely flammable. Triple distilled vodka should exhibit the same smooth character as triple distilled Irish whiskey.

Why are two distillations performed for 2-methyl-2-butanol lab?
Two distillations are performed for 2-methyl-2-butanol in the lab to separate and purify the compound from impurities. The first distillation removes most of the impurities, while the second distillation is done to further purify and isolate the compound in its pure form. This process ensures a higher yield and quality of the final product.

What alcoholic drink made of flower?
There are a few types of wine made from flowers. Dandelion and elderflower wines are probably the most common. Flowers are sometimes added to aperitif wines. For example, vermouth frequently contains an infusion of rose petals. Some liqueurs also contain infusions or distillations of flowers.
How do we get fuel from crude oil?
It is distilled into different fractions, heavy fuel oil (e.g. for ships), kerosene (planes), diesel (cars), gas/petrol (cars), as an example. Also the heavier fractions from distillations may also be 'cracked' to produce more volatile components. The cracking process is undertaken using catalysis.
Is it a sin to disobey the precepts of the Catholic church?
Why not have a look at www.fisheaters.com or www.catholic.com for the answer? They're both excellent sources of facts about the Catholic Church. :)Catholic AnswerYes, it is a sin to disobey the precepts of the Catholic Church. The precepts of the Church are NOT man made, they are distillations, so to speak of what you should be doing if you are trying to love and follow God.
What is Pinnacle vodka made from?
Pinnacle Vodka is primarily made from American grain, specifically wheat, which gives it a smooth and clean taste. The vodka undergoes a distillation process that typically involves multiple distillations to ensure purity and quality. Additionally, it is known for its diverse range of flavored varieties, achieved by infusing natural flavors during production.
What is a florence flask is used for?
A florence flask is a round bottomed flask used for boiling.
How to distille oil from ylang ylang?
Essential oil from ylang-ylang is extracted by water or steam from the freshly picked flowers. Standard water distillation methods are used, (you need the equipment and LOTS of flowers). The first distillation is called ylang-ylang extra, which is the top grade oil, there are often three more distillations called grade 1, 2, & 3. An absolute and a concrete may also be made using solvent extraction.
Why can't we use solar energy for distillation?
You have a misconception here as solar energy definitely can be used to perform distillations. However for more than trivial quantities large arrays of mirrors are required to concentrate the sunlight to get high temperature needed for the process to be efficient and practical.
