Solution

Distillation:-

  • It is a process where different components of a mixture can be separated based on the boiling point of the components in that particular mixture.
  • At their boiling points, the components of the mixture get separated.
  • When the mixture is a solid-liquid one, then the mixture should be heated until the boiling point of the liquid.
  • Thus the liquid gets evaporated, leaving behind the solid.

Separation of sugar from sugar-water solution:-

  • The solution of sugar and water can be separated by the process of distillation.
  • The solution of sugar and water is boiled at 100°C.
  • Since the boiling point of water is 100°C, it starts getting evaporated, leaving the sugar behind at the flask.
  • By this distillation process we get pure sugar, in form of crystal, from the sugar-water solution.
