Study Notes
Distillation Overview
- Distillation is a separation method that involves vaporization and subsequent condensation of a substance.
Purpose of the Module
- The main purpose of this module is to understand the concept of distillation and its applications.
Substances Separable by Distillation
- Distillation can be used to separate substances with different boiling points, such as water and ethanol.
- It can also be used to separate mixtures of liquids with different volatilities.
Practice Exercises
- Students will be expected to apply the concept of distillation to solve problems and complete exercises.
- The practice exercises will help students to understand the process of distillation and its limitations.
Separation of Ideal and Non-Ideal Mixtures
- Distillation can be used to separate ideal or slightly non-ideal mixtures, as long as the components have different boiling points.
