What is distillation?
Think about boiling points.
Name one application of distillation.
Consider where we find this method in daily life.
What is distillation primarily used for?
Think about how we separate different types of liquids.
True or False: Fractional distillation is necessary for liquids with very different boiling points.
Consider which method is more efficient for closely boiling liquids.
If you have a mix of ethanol (boiling point 78°C) and water (boiling point 100°C), how would you separate them using simple distillation? Explain your steps.
Think about which liquid will evaporate first based on temperature.
A mixture contains two liquids, A and B, with boiling points of 95°C and 96°C, respectively. Discuss if simple distillation is sufficient for this separation, and if not, what method you would recommend.
What happens if boiling points are too similar?
