Solution

Distillation:
Distillation is the process of the separation of components of a mixture containing two miscible liquids.
It is the process of the separation of a liquid from its solution with a solid constituent by heating the liquid to its vapour form and then cooling the vapour to get back the pure liquid.
This method is used to recover both the dissolved solids and the liquid from their mixture.
Hence, pure water or distilled water can be obtained from tap water by the process of distillation.
