Question

how will you separate a mixture containing kerosene and petrol only difference is their boiling point is more then 25 degree celsius which are misciblr with

Answer 1

Explanation:

A mixture of two miscible liquids having a difference in their boiling points more than 25 °C can be separated by the method of simple distillation.

The boiling point of kerosene = around 150–180 °C

The boiling point of petrol = 95 °C

A technique known as simple distillation can be used to separate the mixture of miscible liquids, where the difference in boiling point is more than 25°C, to name a few – kerosene and petrol. The whole concept is established on the volatility property of substances. The following are the various steps in the process of simple distillation:

(a) In a distillation flask, take the mixture.

(b) Treat the mixture with heat while a thermometer is affix.

(c) We observe evaporation of petrol as it has a low boiling point.

(d) As the vapours advance towards the condenser, a dip in the temperature causes condensation of the vapours into liquid which can be accumulated in a flask.

(e) We notice that kerosene tends to remain in the flask in a liquid state due to comparatively higher boiling point.

(f) Consequently, the liquids are separated.
