Question

how can you separate methyl alcohol from mixture of methyl alcohol and water​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fractional distillation is a method for separating a liquid from a mixture of two or more liquids. For example, liquid ethanol can be separated from a mixture of ethanol and water by fractional distillation. This method works because the liquids in the mixture have different boiling points. When the mixture is heated, one liquid evaporates before the other.

Answer 2

Methyl alcohol can be separated from water by the method of fractional distillation which is used to separate two miscible liquids with different boiling points.

The boiling point of methyl alcohol is 64.7°C and that of water is 100°C.

First mix the two liquids and the heat at the boiling point of methyl alcohol. The methyl alcohol evaporates and the water is left.

Condense the methyl alcohol vapours to get methyl alcohol.
