In simple distillation, all the hot vapors produced are immediately channeled into a condenser that cools and condenses the vapors. Therefore, the distillate will not be pure - its composition will be identical to the composition of the vapors at the given temperature and pressure, and can be computed from Raoult's law.
USES:(Limitations)
- Used only to separate liquids whose boiling points differ greatly (rule of thumb is 25 °C)
- To separate liquids from involatile solids or oils.
