How can you obtain pure water from a salt-water mixture (or salt-solution)? Draw a neat and labelled diagram of the apparatus you would use to obtain pure water from a salt-water mixture (or salt-solution).
We can obtain pure water from a saltwater mixture (or salt solution) by the process of distillation.
The following steps underlying the process are as follows:
- The salt water mixture is taken in a distillation flask and heated subsequently.
- On heating, water vapours have formed that rise up and come through the side tube B. It is then passed through condenser C.
- Cold water from the tap is circulated in the outer tube of the condenser so that the hot vapours are cooled.
- The vapours condense and are collected in another beaker. This pure water is called distilled water.
- Salt, being non-volatile, remains in the flask and can be obtained later.
