Q2 of 6 Page 121

Draw a labelled diagram showing the process of distillation.

Distillation is a process of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling.


The diagram of distillation is given below:



(i) It is a chemical process where a mixture which is made up of two or more components with different boiling points is separated.


(ii) The mixture is heated until one of the components boils (turns to a vapor).


(iii) The vapor is then fed into a condenser, which cools the vapor and changes it back into a liquid that is called distillate.


(iv) What remains in the original container is called the "residue"
