What is a distillation?
This a separation technique for purifying a liquid.
In this process, the liquid is heated to the boiling point and vaporized.
That vapor is then cooled and recondensed in the liquid form
Ideal solutions
Solutions are ideal when the intermolecular interactions among species are identical
An ideal solution obeys Raoult’s law
PA = XA PAo
Introduction to chromatography
Chromatography is a separation technique based on partition between a mobile phase and a stationary phase.
Invented by a botanist (M.Tswett) at the beginning of the 20th century
From greek chroma:”color” and graphein:”write”
