Distillation

Page 1

Distillation separates liquids with different boiling points. You heat a mixture gently, the substances will evaporate in order of increasing boiling point.

You heat a flask with the mixture in, if you know the boiling point of your pure product, you can heat until you reach its boiling point.

It will then evaporate, condense and fall into the flask at the end.

Redistillation:

Mixtures that contain volatile liquids can be purified using redistillation.

If a product and its impurities have different boiling points, you can separate them using distillation.

When the liquid you want boils, put a flask under the condenser to collect the product you want.
