Distillation of Ink

The video explores whether ink is a compound or a mixture by using distillation. The process involves boiling ink to separate its components, dye and water, and testing the collected liquid with cobalt chloride paper. The results show that ink is a mixture, not a compound. The video also explains how distillation is used in alcohol production, such as whiskey, by separating alcohol from a fermented grain mash.

What happens to the cobalt chloride paper when it is dipped into the liquid collected from the distillation?

Describe the process that occurs when the ink is heated during distillation.

What is the significance of the low boiling point of alcohol in the distillation process for whiskey production?
