Distillation is a process where you separate 2 or more kinds of mixture , Diagrammatically lets look how do we separate 2 mixtures through distillation and through temperature and time graph lets see when does it melt and when does it cool down

Process of Distillation

• First we have distilling flask which contains the mixture , we pour oil bath , we cant pour water cause it will evaporate in the normal atmosphere while oil wont

• We heat up the oil and turn it into gas aka steam or vapor , as the vapor passes it gets measured by a thermometer for observations on the temperature

• It gets passed through a pipe where it gets cool , h20 goes out and gets in , it wont mix with the gas as it is poured in the outer pipe , as you can see down , h20 gets in and out to cool the vapor and convert it to liquid.

• As it passes , it goes through a vacuum adapter , to remove vacuum or air , finally the liquid is on the receiving flask and gets poured on the beaker with ice under it

Example

hexanes boiling point is 68 degree , as it turns 68 degree it turns into vapor and goes through the pipe and gets separated , but if we increase the temperature then even toluene will evaporate with hexane , to separate hexane and toluene just take out hexane you will get toluene And the diagrammatic representation is right over the left , temperature and time
