Blog Question

Blog about distillation to separate alcohol and water.

To separate alcohol and water we use the distillation process. Since water has a high boiling point and alcohol has a low boiling point, when the mixture is heated the alcohol will vaporize first and leave the distillation flask. The alcohol, now, will then condense back into a liquid and can then be collected separately. This all happens before water begins to boil. Then the same process will occur for the water.
