Separation Techniques
• Distillation = to remove dissolved substances from a
liquid or to separate a mixture of liquids that have
different boiling points.
• The original liquid is heated.
• The temperature is measured.
• The vapor is collected and condensed back into a liquid.
• The new liquid is collected.
