3. Suggest methods of separation for the following mixtures-
a. Oil from water b. Alcohol from water
Answers
Answer:1. Use of seprating funnel.
2.?? But it will fractional distillation
Explanation: Sorry friend
answer (a) - oil will float on the upper surface of water and can be seperated easily
answer (b) - To separate a mixture of alcohol (ethanol) and water, you can use a process known as fractional distillation. This technique relies on the fact that the compounds in the mixture have different boiling points. Since ethanol boils at a lower temperature (78.5 degrees Celsius, or 173.3 degrees Fahrenheit) than water, the alcohol vaporizes while most of the water remains a liquid. A good distillation column will produce a mixture of 95 percent alcohol and 5 percent water. This ratio represents the most pure form of ethanol possible with distillation and is widely accepted as an industry standard.
Pour the ethanol/water mixture into the round-bottom flask.
Assemble the fractional distillation apparatus by attaching the fractioning column to the round-bottom flask. Attach the condenser to the fractioning column and place the distillate-capturing flask under it to capture the distillate.
Place the Bunsen burner below the round-bottom flask and heat the mixture to above the boiling point of ethanol (about 80 degrees C).
Maintain the mixture at a constant temperature until the boiling has ceased. At this point, you have completed distillation.
