Question

Two volatile and miscible liquids can be separated by fractional distillation into pure component', is true under what conditions?

Answer 1

Answer:

The condition necessary for fractional distillation to be applied is that the two liquids must have close but different boiling points.

Explanation:

Step 1 : We need to understand the meaning of Volatile and miscible.

Volatile liquids easily vaporize.

Miscible liquids form homogenous mixture.

For this type of mixture to be separated fractional distillation method has to be used.

Step 2 : Conditions for fractional distillation to be applied.

For this method to be used, the two miscible liquids must have close but different boiling points.
