Which faces does water go through if you use distillation to separate it from dissolved salt
During distillation, water goes through two main faces to separate it from dissolved salt:
1. Vaporization: The first phase involves heating the saltwater to convert it into steam or vapor. The heat causes the water molecules to gain enough energy to break the hydrogen bonds and escape from the liquid phase as vapor.
2. Condensation: In this second phase, the resulting water vapor is cooled down, often in a condenser, to convert it back into a liquid state. When cooled, the water vapor condenses back into liquid water. Since salt does not evaporate with water, it remains behind in the original container or in the distillation apparatus.
By separating the vaporized water from the dissolved salt, distillation allows for the production of freshwater by condensing the vaporized water.
