To obtain 95% methanol through distillation, you need to use a fractional distillation setup, which allows for the separation of components based on their boiling points. Start with a mixture of methanol and water, and heat it; methanol will evaporate first due to its lower boiling point (64.7°C) compared to water (100°C). Collect the vapor and condense it back into liquid form, repeating the process to increase purity. The final product can approach 95% methanol, but achieving higher concentrations may require additional purification steps, such as azeotropic distillation or using drying agents.
