?
What is Simple Distillation?
Simple Distillation is used to separate a liquid from a solid if we want to keep the liquid.

How does Simple Distillation work?
First, we evaporate the liquid by heating. We then condense the vapour by cooling.

How to: Simple Distillation
1.We start by heating our solution with a Bunsen burner 2.As we heat the liquid, it evaporates turning into a vapor 3. This vapor now rises up the glass tube 4. The vapor then passes into the condenser

5. Because the condenser is kept cool because there is cold water circulating around it. This means that the vapor is turning back into a liquid as it passes through the condenser. 6. We can collect the liquid in a beaker.Crystal of solid in a flask
