Explain the process by which acetone and water can be separated
Answers
Answer:
The mixture of water and acetone is separated by Fractional distillation.
Explanation:
Fractional distillation is a process of heating a mixture of two liquids which have a difference in their boiling points.
The liquid which have less boiling point turns into
vapour and the other liquid is left back.
The vapors are then cooled to get the other liquid.
Difference in the boiling points of Acetone and Water is 25K.
The mixture of Acetone is taken in a distillation flask and is slowly heated till Acetone evaporates.
Water is collected in a distillation flask and Acetone vapors are condensed to get back Acetone.
Thus, the mixture is separated.
Hence, the principle is the difference in the boiling points of the two miserable liquids.
hope my answer helps uh pls mark me as brainliest
