by which method we can separate Acetone and water explain the method step by step ?
Answers
Answer:
Acetone and water are miscible liquids also the difference between their boiling point is more than 25 ºC so they can be separated by the method of simple distillation. Follow the steps given below
(i) Take a mixture in the distillation flask fit it with the thermometer.
(ii) Arrange the apparatus as shown in the given figure.
(iii) Heat the mixture slowly keeping a close watch on thermometer.
(iv) Since the acetone has lower boiling point starts vaporises and condenses in the condenser which is finally collected in the beaker.
Answer:
hiii
your answer is here !
Explanation:
1) While start heating, acetone separates from the water because of the lower boiling point compared to the water.
2) When the temperature becomes at 56 degree Celsius thermometer reading becomes constant.
3) The boiling point of acetone is 56-degree Celsius.
4) The difference in boiling water was the reason for separation.
