Type of distillation

Question

Accepted Answer

Distillation is a process used to separate components of a liquid mixture based on differences in boiling points.

Distillation involves heating the mixture to create vapor, then cooling the vapor to condense it back into liquid form.
The components with lower boiling points will vaporize first and be collected, while the components with higher boiling points will remain in the liquid phase.
Types of distillation include simple distillation, fractional distillation, and steam distillation.
Simple distillation is used for separating components with significantly different boiling points, while fractional distillation is used for components with closer boiling points.
Steam distillation is commonly used for extracting essential oils from plants.
