Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Whether the distillation process could be used to separate air into its component gases needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Distillation is a process of purifying a liquid by heating or cooling it.

Answer to Problem 94A
Yes, distillation process can be used to separate air into its component gases.
Explanation of Solution
Air is a mixture of gases consisting majorly nitrogen, oxygen and the inert gas argon. The remaining consists of carbon dioxide and the other inert rare gases. To separate them distillation process is used widely known as Air Separation Plants that uses thermal process to separate the different gases from on another to produce all the pure gases present in air.
Steps taken in separating air:
- Compression of air
- Pre-cooling the air
- Purifying the air
- Cooling
- Separation
- Withdrawal and storage.
Distillation process is used to separate the gases from its mixture by following a series of steps involved.
