Introduction
Distillation is one of the oldest and still most common methods and the identification of organic liquids. is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by the difference in how easily they vaporize. As the mixture is ted, the temperature rises until it the temperature of the lowest boiling substance in reaches mixture, while the other components of the mixture remain in their original phase in the mixture. The resultant hot vapor passes into a condenser and is converted to the liquid, which rs then collected in a receiver flask. The other components of the mixture their remain in original phase until the most volatile substance has all boiled off. Only then does the temperature of the gas phase rises again until it reaches the boiling point of a second component in the mixture, and so on.
