I understand that boiling water with salt in it, you end up with just salt. But, How does it work with two liquids? Wouldn’t they just mix and end up with the same boiling point?
In: Chemistry
Even when you “mix” two liquids, their individual particles (molecules) don’t change. Picture a ball pit with red and yellow balls. No matter how much you mix them up, you’re never going to get orange balls, you just get a jumble of red balls and yellow balls. If the red ones boil at 40 degrees and the yellow ones at 75 degrees, then you can raise the temp to 50 and the red ones will (mostly) evaporate and the yellow ones (mostly) won’t.
