Miscible liquids are separated by the process of ___________ distillation.

Open in App

Solution

Those liquids which mix in all proportions and form a single layer (when put in a container) are called miscible liquids.
For example - alcohol in water.
These liquids can be separated by the method of fractional distillation.
Fractional distillation is the process of separating two (or more) miscible liquids by distillation, the distillate is collected in fractions boiling at different temperatures.
Hence, miscible liquids are separated by the process of fractional distillation.
