Introduction to Distillation and Fractional Distillation

The video tutorial covers various techniques for separating mixtures by physical means, focusing on distillation and fractional distillation. It explains how distillation can separate a solvent from a solution by heating and cooling, and how fractional distillation separates miscible liquids based on their boiling points. The tutorial also describes the equipment used in these processes, such as round bottom flasks, thermometers, and condensers, and concludes with a comparison of the techniques.
