What is the purpose of steam distillation?
What is the purpose of steam distillation?
- To cool down the mixture
- To increase the temperature of the mixture
- To separate heat-sensitive components in a mixture (correct)
- To increase the pressure of the mixture
How are vapours collected in the distillation process?
How are vapours collected in the distillation process?
- By decreasing the surrounding temperature
- By cooling the mixture rapidly
- By increasing the pressure around the mixture
- By passing steam through the mixture (correct)
In vacuum distillation, why are high-purity samples obtained?
In vacuum distillation, why are high-purity samples obtained?
- Because compounds decompose at high temperatures (correct)
- Because compounds decompose at low temperatures
- Due to increased temperature during distillation
- Due to increased surrounding pressure
