Description
Thermal separation methods like distillation and crystallization separate components based on differences in boiling points or solubility.
Technical
Distillation exploits vapor pressure differences; ethanol vaporizes at 78.37 °C while water remains liquid until 100 °C, allowing separation by condensation. Crystallization relies on supersaturation and nucleation; sucrose crystals form when a solution is cooled below its solubility limit, often requiring a seed crystal to initiate growth.
Science
Primary Reaction
Phase change (vaporization/condensation) and crystallization from supersaturated solutions
