Distillation

The video tutorial explains the process of distillation, a method used to separate components of a liquid mixture by heating it in a closed vessel until it boils, collecting the vapor, and allowing it to condense. This process allows for the collection of liquid fractions with successively higher boiling points. Distillation is widely used in industries such as oil refining and the production of spirits.

What is the primary goal when separating points from a mixture?

• To cool down the mixture

• To separate substances based on boiling points

• To change the color of the mixture

• To combine different substances

During the distillation process, what happens after the liquid mixture is heated?

• The mixture freezes

• The vapour is collected and allowed to condense

• The liquid evaporates completely

• The mixture is stirred continuously

What is the role of condensation in the distillation process?

• To convert vapour back into liquid

• To separate the vapour into different gases

• To solidify the vapour

• To increase the temperature of the vapour

In which industry is distillation widely used?

• Automobile industry

• Construction industry

• Oil industry

• Textile industry

Besides the oil industry, where else is distillation commonly applied?

• In the production of textiles

• In the manufacturing of electronics

• In the creation of plastics

• In the production of spirits
