Simple Distillation

The video tutorial explains distillation, a common separation technique in chemistry, used to separate liquid components based on boiling points. It details the equipment needed for a simple distillation setup and provides a step-by-step guide to assembling the apparatus. The process of distilling a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water is demonstrated, highlighting the importance of temperature control and safety precautions. The tutorial concludes with an introduction to fractional distillation, which uses a fractional column for improved separation.
