Question

How can we separate alcohol from water ? Explain the whole process

with diagram ?​

Answer 1

ALCOHOL AND WATER ARE IMMISCIBLE LIQUIDS SO THE PROCESS IS

SUBLIMATION BY SEPARATING FUNNEL

1) now we will try to seperate alcohol oil from water by using separating funnel.

2) pour mixture of alcohol oil and water in a seperating funnel.

3) the mixture is left undisturbed for sometime for the formation of seperate layers of oil and water.

4) open the stopcock of the seperating funnel and pour out the lower layer of water carefully.

5) close the stopcock of the seperating funnel when the oil reaches the stopcock.

note :- in the diagram I give u diagram of kerosene oil and water but don't worry this is the same process.
