Homogeneous mixture with components of different boiling points
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Distillation is a method of separating miscible mixtures which contain components that have different boiling points.
The mixture is heated and the component with the low boiling point evaporates first. It is then condensed in the condenser and the distillate collected using a clean beaker.
For example, a miscible solution of ethanol and water can be separated using distillation.
Ethanol and water have different boiling points of 78°C and 100°C respectively. Ethanol is distilled out first because it has a low boiling point compared to water.
