Question

the various compounds present in coal tar are separated by the process of:
A. simple distillation
B. destructive distillation
C. fractional distillation
D. fractional crystallization

Answer 1

Answer:

C)fractional distillation

Answer 2

C. fractional distillation

Explanation:

Coal tar is a mixture of about 200 carbon compounds or organic compounds. The useful carbon compounds present in coal tar includes benzene, toluene,naphthalene, anthracene, phenol and aniline. The various compounds present in coal tar are separated by the process of fractional distillation. Chemical compounds are separated by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the mixture will vaporize.

Option C is the answer.
