Question

describe the process which occur when a liquid is separated from a non volatile impurity by distillation?

Answer 1

The liquid boils away, leaving the impurities behind. The distillation process involves capturing and cooling the vapor of the volatile liquid, condensing it in a different container, thus leaving a purified liquid separated from the impurities.

Answer 2

the liquid is heated.. transformed into a vapor... the vapor is then condensed back to a liquid.
Depending on the tempature at which the liquid changes state into vapor you could seperate liquids in this manner (ie whiskey).
We used this process to make water while in the Navy. Took sea water in... boiled it... the salts stayed behind (with a bit of water) and we condensed the pure water... so pure we had to add chemicals to it to drink.

Answer 3

BROILING.
%When the elements of water (Hydrogen & Oxygen) are sped-up (heated) to a point where they seperate from each other, they naturally "escape" their confines by speeding into a gaseous state.
The "volatile inpurity" is the casing or container in which the two elements are contained as one.
The "distillation" you speak of simply refers to the increase in temperature (heat.)
