Differentiate between Evaporation and distillation.

Open in App

Solution

EVAPORATION
DISTILLATION
1. The process of obtaining vapours of liquid by heating it. 1. The process by which a soluble liquid can be separated from a solution by first converting it into vapours by evaporation and then cooling and collecting the vapours by condensation in another container is called distillation.
2. It is a natural phenomenon. 2. It is an artificially designed method of separation.
3. The method is used to separate dissolved salts from pure liquid. 3. The process is used to separate not only dissolved solids from a liquid but also separate two miscible liquids from each other.
4. For example - evaporation of water to obtain salt from seas. 4. For example - the distillation of tap water to obtain distilled water for use in chemical reactions.
