Question

Mention the appropriate methods for the separation of the following mixture :

A mixture of liquids with different boiling points.

Answer 1

• Distillation is the process by which we can separate a mixture of miscible liquids with different boiling points.
• In this process, a mixture is subjected to heat and the components of the mixture are vaporised and then immediately cooled by cold water in the condenser.
• The liquid with lower boiling point vaporises faster than the one with higher boiling point and is collected first.
• That is how the components are separated based on their boiling points.
