Questions and Answers

What is the key difference between evaporation and distillation?

Evaporation involves boiling the mixture until the solvent is removed, while distillation involves boiling the mixture to separate components based on boiling point. (correct)

Evaporation does not require cooling for condensation, while distillation requires cooling to capture the boiled substance.

Evaporation uses a single apparatus, while distillation involves two main parts - heating side and cooling side.

Evaporation only works for homogeneous mixtures, while distillation can work for both homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Why is it necessary to cool the boiled substance in distillation?

To facilitate the separation based on density.

To prevent the mixture from burning.

To allow the mixture to reach a higher temperature.

To allow the boiled substance to undergo condensation back to a liquid state. (correct)

What is the purpose of the heating side in a distillation apparatus?

To ensure rapid evaporation of the mixture.

To allow the mixture to reach its boiling point. (correct)

To prevent condensation of the liquid.

To facilitate cooling of the boiled substance.

How does distillation help in separating components that have different boiling points?

Why is it more challenging to separate two liquids in a homogeneous mixture compared to a heterogeneous mixture using distillation?

<p>Because homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition, making separation more difficult.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Evaporation

Evaporation involves heating a mixture until the liquid solvent boils and is completely removed, leaving behind the solid.
This process requires an apparatus, as shown in Figure 3.

Distillation

Distillation is a separation process used for homogeneous mixtures of two liquids that do not separate into layers based on density.
The process involves boiling a mixture to separate its components based on boiling point.
During distillation, a liquid changes from a liquid to a gas state when it boils, and then returns to a liquid state when cooled.
A distillation apparatus consists of two main parts:
A heating side to allow the mixture to boil.
- A cooling side to collect the boiled substance, allowing it to undergo condensation back to a liquid using a condenser, as shown in Figure 5.
