Question

The boiling point of liquid ‘X’ is 560C and the boiling point of liquid ‘Y’ is 600C. ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are mutually miscible liquids. a) Suggest a suitable method to separate the components ‘X’ and ‘Y’ from a mixture of these two. b) On what basis you have chosen that method​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\rm{\underline{\underline{\red{Answer}}}}$

• Distillation is the process of separating the components of a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation. It is used to separate homogeneous mixtures where the components have an appreciable difference in boiling points.

• Separating funnel, centrifugation and handpicking are essentially used to separate the components of heterogeneous mixtures.
