In distillation water is boiled to make steam (or heated to near boiling point to be precice) & the resulting vapour is cooled to provide a pure product, be that water or spirit.

What PHYSICAL processes take place in distillation?

In distillation, a liquid mixture is heated to create vapor, and then cooled to condense the vapor back into liquid form. This separation process relies on differences in boiling points of the components in the mixture to efficiently separate them. The physical processes involved are evaporation, condensation, and vaporization.

Which two oposite processes take place during fractional distillation?

During fractional distillation, two opposite processes occur: evaporation and condensation. The mixture is heated, causing the component with the lower boiling point to evaporate first. As the vapor rises through the distillation column, it cools and condenses back into a liquid at various heights, allowing for separation of components based on their boiling points. This cycle of evaporation and condensation continues until the desired purity of the components is achieved.
