Question

how will you separate acetone and water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The mixture of water and acetone is separated by a process called Fractional Distillation. Fraction Distillation is a process of heating a mixture of two liquids which have a difference in their boiling points. The liquid which has less boiling point turns into vapours and the other liquid is left back.

Hope this helps you!!!

Acetone and water are completely miscible so distillation would be a good way to separate them. Use a flask with a condenser attached cooled by water. Then heat the mixture to say 65C (acetone boils at 56C. The acetone will evaporate and re-condense on the cold glass surface. It should then be collected in a separate flask. This sort of setup is fineThe acetone will not completely disappear from the water and some water vapour will co condense with the acetone, but it will be OK for removing your nail polish.

hope it works...
