Solution

Distillation
Distillation is a method of separation that separates two liquids according to the difference in their respective boiling points.
In the distillation process, a liquid is transformed into a vapor, which is subsequently cooled and condenses back into a liquid.
Water is cycled through the condenser's jacket, which has two exits.
Consequently, a condenser is used to offer effective cooling.
Condenser in the distillation apparatus
The given two figures are as follows:

The tube (a) beads have a larger surface area, which helps cool the vapors that come in touch with them.
This makes it a good condenser.
The marble's presence expands the region that comes into touch with the vapors.
The vapors have more time to condense, making the first column (a) more efficient than the second column (b) without marbles.

Distillation is the process of separating a solid from its solution by condensing it and then evaporating its vapor. The process is carried out in a specially designed apparatus called miscible flask. The solution is heated in a distillation flask due to which the solid component gets evaporated. The vapor of the solid pass through a tube called distillation column. The distillation column is kept warm so that the vapor can cool down. Finally, the vapor are collected in a receiving beaker. In this way, we get pure solid from its solution.

Q. Two liquids A and B are miscible over the whole range of composition and may be treated as ideal (obeying Raoult's Law). At 350 K the vapour pressure of pure A is 24.0 kPa and of pure B is 12.0 kPa. A mixture of 60% A and 40% B is distilled at this temperature; what is the pressure in a closed distillation apparatus from which air is excluded? in KPa
