Simple Distillation Process Quiz

What is the definition of simple distillation process?

• C

• B

• D

• A

Name one real-life application of simple distillation.

• Making ice cream

• Building a house

• Purification of water

• Sending a rocket to space

What are the potential hazards of simple distillation?

• Fire hazard, exposure to toxic vapors, and potential for equipment failure.

• Slippery floors

• Risk of electrical shock

• Loud noises

What are the indicators of simple distillation?

• Boiling point and volatility difference

• Density and solubility difference

• Color and odor difference

• Melting point and boiling point difference

How does simple distillation work?

• By heating a liquid to create vapor, then cooling the vapor to condense it back into a liquid, and collecting the condensed liquid.

• By filtering the liquid through a sieve

• By freezing the liquid and then melting it

• By mixing two liquids together

Explain the process of separating components using simple distillation.

• The mixture is cooled to solidify the component with the highest boiling point

• The mixture is heated to vaporize the component with the lowest boiling point, and then the vapor is condensed back into liquid form to collect the purified component.

• The mixture is left to settle and the components separate on their own

• The mixture is filtered to separate the components based on their size

What are the safety precautions to be taken during simple distillation?

• Wearing a lab coat and closed-toe shoes

• Using a blender instead of a distillation apparatus

• Working with bare hands and no eye protection

• Wearing safety goggles, using heat-resistant gloves, working in a well-ventilated area, and being cautious around hot surfaces and open flames.

What are the advantages of using simple distillation?

• All of the above

• Higher cost

• More complex process

• None of the above

What are the limitations of simple distillation?

• Simple distillation can separate substances with close boiling points effectively

• Simple distillation can only be used for separating solid mixtures

• Some limitations of simple distillation include its inability to separate substances with close boiling points, and its inefficiency in separating mixtures with large differences in boiling points.

• Simple distillation is very efficient in separating mixtures with large differences in boiling points

What are the differences between simple distillation and fractional distillation?

• Simple distillation uses a fractionating column while fractional distillation does not

• Simple distillation achieves better separation than fractional distillation

• Both methods involve the separation of substances based on their boiling points, but fractional distillation uses a fractionating column to achieve better separation.

• Both methods involve the separation of substances based on their melting points
