distillation

Question

Simple distillation is used to purify liquids having boiling point difference of at least:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

**Simple Distillation** allows for the separation of a volatile liquid from non-volatile impurities or from another liquid with a significantly different boiling point.
- **Boiling Point Difference**: For effective separation using simple distillation, the components of the mixture must have a boiling point difference of **at least $25 	ext{ K}$ (or $25^\circ C$)**.
- If the boiling points are closer than this, the vapors produced will be a mixture of both components, and **Fractional Distillation** (using a fractionating column) must be employed to achieve purity.
