Q1. What is distillation
Ans. 
Distillation is a process of separating components of a liquid mixture based on differences in boiling points.
• Distillation involves heating the liquid mixture to create vapor, then cooling the vapor to collect the separated components.

• The component with the lower boiling point will vaporize first and be collected, leaving behind the component with the higher boiling point.

• Examples of distillation include the separation...read more

Q3. What is adsorption
Ans. 
Adsorption is the process in which molecules or particles adhere to the surface of a solid or liquid material.
• Adsorption involves the accumulation of molecules or particles on the surface of a material.

• It is a surface phenomenon, different from absorption where a substance is taken into the bulk of another material.

• Examples include the adsorption of pollutants onto activated carbon in water treatment processes.
