turn off the hot plate and carefully lower the lab jack, making sure that no cords or hoses get caught in it.
Explanation:
Distillate is the product obtained from the process of distillation. Distillation is the separation of components of a liquid mixture based on different boiling points. Distillation can be used to purify alcohol, for desalination, refining of crude oil, and for obtaining liquefied gases. A lab jack is an essential tool that supports and lifts hotplates, glassware, baths, and other small lab equipment requiring stable surfaces at a specific height.
