Distillation is a process of separating two or more liquids based on their different boiling points. It is a commonly used technique in chemistry and industry for purifying a solvent, separating different components of a mixture, or extracting essential oils.

In KS3 science, students are introduced to the concept of distillation and how it works. They learn that when a mixture of liquids is heated, the liquid with the lowest boiling point will vaporize first. The vapor is then cooled and condensed back into a liquid, which is collected in a separate container.

Distillation can be done using simple setups such as a boiling flask connected to a condenser tube, or more complex setups such as fractional distillation columns that allow for multiple rounds of vaporization and condensation.
