Answer 1

1. Distillation: The process of heating a liquid to form vapour and then cooling the vapour to get the liquid again is called distillation.
2. The method of distillation can be used to separate the mixture of two miscible liquids provided, the liquid components of the mixture boil without decomposition and have at least or more than $25°\mathrm{C}$ the difference in their boiling points.
3. Example: 1. A mixture of salt and water (salt solution) can be separated into salt and water by the process of distillation.

2. Tap water which is a mixture of some impurities and dissolved salts can be converted into pure or distilled water by the process of distillation.
