A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Distillation is a method used to obtain pure liquids from mixtures. It works on the principle of differences in boiling points.
In this process, the liquid is heated until it turns into vapour. The vapour is then cooled and converted back into liquid. This liquid is collected as distilled water.
Distillation is used in laboratories, chemical industries, and for preparing drinking water in some areas.
