BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Distillation is the process of vaporizing a liquid and recovering it by condensing the vapors. The liquid formed by this condensation is called the distillate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vapor that passes the thermometer condenses in the condenser, a double-walled tube that is cooled by water flowing through the outer layer, and drips into the receiver.

Detailed explanation-3: -In molecular distillation, fluids are in the free molecular flow regime, i.e. the mean free path of molecules is comparable to the size of the equipment. The gaseous phase no longer exerts significant pressure on the substance to be evaporated, and consequently, rate of evaporation no longer depends on pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a distillation, liquid compounds can be separated from one another based on differences in boiling points of the liquids in a mixture. The purpose of the condenser is to cool the vapors of the components of the mixture, allowing them to condense to liquid form and be collected.
