one means of separating a mixture is to use distillation. in this setting, a distillation bridge acts as a conduit between the two pots. one pot contains the mixture to be separated, and through heating, a gas forms which is lead through the bridge. at the end of the bridge the gas phase is condensed and drips into a round flask. typically, the bridge is cooled by return flow. also, there is often a thermometer for controlling the temperature of the distillation bridge.
