Simple distillation can be used to obtain a solvent from its solution.The process of distillation involves both evaporation and condensation.In the distillation flask, evaporation takes place.The vapour rises through the delivery tube and into the Lie big condenser filled with cold water which cools the vapour making it to condense to liquid. Simple distillation can also be used to separate two miscible liquids with wider range in boiling points.
