Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe how distillation is used to separate and recover a liquid from a solution.

Show transcript
A liquid can be separated from a solution by vaporising it and then quickly condensing it. Distillation works due to one part of a solution having a different boiling point than the other part. A condenser should be kept cold to speed up condensation. The liquid collected (distillate) is pure.
