Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, so it can be condensed separately out of an aqueous solution. When it evaporates, alcohol is removed directly from solutions that contain solid impurities.

What is distillation and where is it used?
Distillation is evaporating a liquid and collecting the condensed form. It is used to purify water and make liquids pure and to also separate a mixture, for example, get salt from salt water and have then in separate containers. People in wineries use it to make alcohol stronger.
Distillation is the method used to seperate what?
A liquid from a solid (evaporation of water to create pure water), One liquid from another (alcohol in wine from the water to make spirits).
How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
Why is distillation used in chemistry?
>to get a pure sustance (such as water from sea water) >to separate alcohol from water to make distilled spirits such as vodka, >to extract essential oils from plants >to divide crude oil into all of its different components (paraffin, tar, and all of the other substances used as fuel that are extracted)
Why would you use distillation?
Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid, or increase the purity of a liquid. For example, one can generally make highly pure water through distillation. Alcohols can also be concentrated with distillation which is used to make hard alcohols. One should note, however, that there are often contaminants that co-distill... so for example distilled spirits are rarely pure. Potentially heat-stable solids could also be distilled in some cases. Also see fractional distillation and reflux distillation.
How do you convert seawater into pure water?
The most used procedure is distillation.
How is distilation used to make vodka?
Like most distilled beverages, distillation increases the alcohol content.
Uses of simple distillation?
Distillation is a method in chemistry to separate substances from a mixture according to their level of vitality. some examples of distillation are alcohol distillery, distilled water, production of gasoline, paraffin, kerosene etc.
The result of heating water and condensing the resulting vapor to produce a more pure substance?
This process is known as distillation. It is used to produce pure water as well as alcohol with greater strength. Care must be taken to regulate the rate of boiling or the distillate will have impurities in it.
What alcoholic drink has the highest alcohol content?
The highest alcohol by volume (ABV) level attainable by distillation is 96.5% and this is the level of some spirits available; most intended for drinking are used to home-make liqueurs.
How do you separate alchoal from water?
By distillation. One can take advantage of the fact that both alcohol and water boils at different temperatures. A fractional distillation apparatus should be used.
Is the distillation of petroleum an endothermic reaction?
Destillation is a pure physic method used for separation of mixtures of compounds. It is NOT a chemical 'ReAcTiOn'
