Key Stage 3

Meaning

Distillation is a method of separating mixtures that can recover both the solute and the solvent in a solution.

About Distillation

During distillation the solvent is evaporated away to leave the solute behind, then the solvent is collected and condensed back into a liquid.

This diagram shows how the solute and solvent can be separated by heating the solution to evaporate the solvent leaving the solute behind and then condensing the evaporated solvent by cooling it down and collecting it in a conical flask.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Distillation is a technique used to separate solutes and solvents from solution] that can recover both the solute and the solvent.
