Question

Which of the following separation techniques is dependent on difference in volatility? (a) Distillation (b) Crystallization (c) Magnetic separation (d) Fractional crystallization

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the Distillation because it is dependent on its Volatility.

Answer 2

Distillation is a separation technique that is dependent on difference in volatility.

Explanation:

• Distillation is a separation technique used to improve the concentration of a selective component in the mixture or to attain pure components in the mixture.
• The process of distillation exploits the discrepancy in the boiling points of the components in the liquid concoction by making one of the constituents to change into a gaseous state.
• Distillation process depends on Dalton’s law and Raoult’s law.

Types of distillation:

1. Simple distillation
2. Fractional distillation
3. Steam distillation
4. Vacuum distillation
5. Air-sensitive vacuum distillation
6. Short path distillation
7. Zone distillation
