Distillation is a process of separating components of a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation. It is used to purify liquids and to separate miscible liquids with different boiling points. In the distillation of water, the water is heated to its boiling point, and the steam is condensed to form pure water. The impurities in the water remain in the boiling flask.
