Question

A mixture of two or more miscible liquids for which the difference in boiling points is less than ${25}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{c}$, can be separated by the process called _____________

Answer 1

Liquids that mix with each other is called miscible liquids.

Fractional distillation is a process of separation of miscible liquids

• Liquids which are to be separated taken in the distillation flask and heated, vapors then passed through glass beads packed in a column (fractionating column)
• Liquid with a higher boiling point will condense and fall back to the distillation flask
• Liquid with a lower boiling point will go into the column and moves out of it and pass through the condenser and collected

Therefore, a mixture of two or more miscible liquids for which the difference in boiling points is less than ${25}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{c}$, can be separated by the process called fractional distillation
