A water bath is used in distillation primarily to provide gentle and even heating to the distillation flask. This method prevents overheating and potential decomposition of sensitive compounds, ensuring a controlled temperature environment. It is particularly useful for distilling substances with low boiling points or when precise temperature control is required. Additionally, using a water bath can help to minimize the risk of bumping and facilitate smoother distillation.
A water bath is used during the distillation of ether to provide gentle and uniform heating to prevent overheating and potential decomposition of the ether, which is a flammable and volatile liquid. The water bath helps regulate the temperature and maintain a safe environment for the distillation process.
Distillation is used frequently.
Because when water is distilled it losses all the essentials salts and minerals.
Distillation is a form of evaporation, so either will be fine.
Water bath is used to maintain a constant temperature for many experiments and procedures.

A receiver flask in a distillation is placed in an ice water bath to condense the vapor being distilled back into liquid form. This helps in separating and collecting the desired components more effectively. The cold temperature of the ice water bath aids in the condensation process.
A hot water bath is a bath with hot water. You use it to take a bath.
distillation
A water bath is only used when the material to be distilled meats two criteria. The first is that the material would deteriorate if exposed to a temperature above a certain temperature and secondly if he distillation temperature is at or below 100oC. In the first car it is easier to control the temperature of a large volume of water because of its thermal inertia rather than control the temperature by using direct heat on a small volume of material to be distilled. In addition the water bath avoids local hot spots in the distillation vessel. The second points obvious in that materials will not distill at temperatures below their own boiling point. With the advent of reliable electrical heating systems water baths have been superseded with temperature controlled electrical heating systems. All the advantages of a water bath, more precise temperature control and less mess.
