Question

Kerosene oil is separated from the mixture of kerosene oil and water by the process of fractional distillation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Fractional distillation: The process of separation of two miscible liquids by the process of distillation, while making use of their difference in boiling points, is called fractional distillation.
• The separation of two immiscible liquids is based on the difference in their densities. This can be done by using a separating funnel.
• This method is used to separate the mixtures of kerosene oil and water as they cannot mix with each other.
• Hence, the given statement is false.
