Question

How will you separate a mixture containing kerosene and petrol which are miscible with each other how to do by distillation

Answer 1

Answer: Simple distillation can be used when the temperature difference between the boiling points of two miscible liquid is at least 25^0C. The temperature difference between the boiling points of kerosene and petrol is 25^0C. Hence, this mixture can be separated using simple distillation.

Answer 2

To separate a mixture containing kerosene and petrol (difference in their boiling points is more than 25°C), Fractional distillation method is used.
