Question
Chapter 5, Problem 8Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The dangerous hazards of carrying out distillation in a completely closed container should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The process to separate the component from liquid mixture by boiling of selective liquid followed by condensation of the mixture is called distillation. The distillation depends upon the boiling point difference of the components. The distillation is used in various industries to get the pure component.
