Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distillation is a process of separating two or more substances by vaporizing and condensing the more volatile component. The process involves boiling a mixture to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid and collected separately. The more volatile liquid is boiled off, leaving behind the less volatile liquid or solid.
