1. Introduction to Distillation Distillation is a separation process that exploits differences in the volatility of components in a liquid mixture. It is commonly used for purifying liquids, separating components based on their boiling points. The basic principle involves heating the liquid mixture to create vapor and then cooling the …
Changes in the State of Matter
Matter can undergo various transformations between its different states—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma—due to changes in temperature and pressure. These transitions are crucial in understanding the behavior of substances under different conditions. Here’s a detailed exploration of these state changes: 1. Melting (Solid to Liquid) Process: When heat is applied …
