- 1What is meant by distillation?Distillation is the separation of liquids based on their different boiling points.
- 2Describe the two main steps involved in the distillation process.- heating a liquid until it boils to form a gas
- cooling the gas somewhere else to allow it to condense back into liquid form - 3Name the piece of apparatus used to condense the gas back into the liquid.Condenser
