Question

A mixture of methyl alcohol and acetoe can be separated by

Answer 1

Answer:

By distilaation

Explanation:

A mixture of methanol and acetone should be miscible since both are polar and can interact with each other using Hydrogen bonds.

Their boiling points:

Methanol — 64.7 ⁰C

Acetone — 56 ⁰C

So it should be possible to separate them via distillation. Acetone has a lower boiling point so should be distilled first.
