Answer:

Green: Heating & Evaporation

It is the solution which is to be distilled (separate water from the salt). Heat is applied at the flask and the solution boils hence producing vapour.

Yellow: Temperature measurements

At this point, the temperature of the vapor is measured by the thermometer. Here, discrimination occurs, when temperature is 100°C (Bpt. of water), then the temperature is made constant.

Pink: Ejection of warm water

This is the outlet on the lie big condensor of water which absorbs the temperature of the vapor. This water is released when vapor is undergoing condensation (turning into liquid)

Green: Insertion of cold water

Cold water is passed through the condensor so as to cool down the vapor into liquid

Red: Condensation

Along the tube, vapor is being cooled down and condensed into a liquid characteristic.

Purple: Water jacket (condenser)

This is the condenser tube through which cold water passes to cool down the vapor.

Blue: Distillate

The condensed vapor (water) is collected in a conical flask
