10. distillation

Answer 1

Distillation is a process for separating mixtures of liquids based on their different boiling points. The mixture is heated until one component boils and turns into vapor, which is then condensed and collected as a separate pure liquid. The other components of the mixture remain in the original container, and the process is repeated until all of the individual liquids have been separated. Distillation is commonly used in the production of alcoholic beverages, fuels, and chemicals.
