⚗️ Distillation and Filtration
This quiz covers two essential separation techniques used in chemistry: distillation and filtration. You'll learn how each method works, when to use them, and how to identify their key components and applications. **What you'll learn:** - The difference between distillation and filtration processes - Identify apparatus used in each separation technique - Explain why certain mixtures require specific separation methods - Apply separation techniques to real-world scenarios
