Question

Mixture of glucose and water can be separated by:

• A. distillation
• B. crystallisation
• C. steam distillation
• D. fractional crystallisation

Answer 1

The correct option is A distillation

Distillation is a way of separating substances based on the difference in their boiling points.

Distillation is a way of separating substances based on the difference in their boiling points. Using distillation it is possible to separate sugar, which has a much higher boiling point than water, from water.

The boiling point of water (pure material) does not change.

So it can be separated using simple distillation.

Option A is correct.
