Introduction
Distillation is a method of
separating
mixtures
based
on
differences in their boiling points. It is a
unit operation, or a physical separation
and not a chemical process. It is the
process where liquid is converted,
followed by the condensation of the
vapor and the collection of the distillate.
This may also be used in purifying
liquids and concentrating alcoholic
beverages. There are 4 distillation
methods: simple distillation, fractional
distillation,
vacuum
distillation
(distillation at reduced pressure), and
steam distillation.
Simple distillation can be used
effectively to separate liquids that have
at least fifty degrees difference in their
boiling points. As the liquid being
distilled is heated, the vapors that form
will be richest in the component of the
mixture that boils at the lowest
temperature. This method is appropriate
for the experiment since there is a
