Introduction to Distillation and Fractional Distillation

The video explains the concept and application of distillation, a technique used to separate mixtures by physical means based on the components' physical properties such as solubility and boiling points. The video explains the process of distillation in detail, including the apparatus needed for it, and elaborates on how to collect the solvent rather than losing it to its surroundings. The video also demonstrates how to separate miscible liquids through fractional distillation. The video concludes by comparing distillation with other separation techniques, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject.
