<span>Alchols are slightly polar molecules due to their hydroxyl group. If you increase the length of the carbon chain, you are actually increasing the nonpolar domain of the molecule. the C-H bonds that make up the carbon chain are nonpolar. Therefore, as you add more, you essentially "dilute" the polarity of the hydroxyl group and are left with a more and more nonpolar molecule, which becomes less soluble. </span>

Alik [6]
Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.
