Question

P and Q are miscible liquids that combine to form a mixture S. The boiling point of P is 78C and that of Q is 100C. ​
1. Identify the process to be used to separate S into its original liquids.
2. Mention the more volatile component amongst the two.

Solution

The correct option is A Fractional distillation​
Volatile component - P
(i) The boiling point of liquid P is 78C and that of liquid Q is 100C.​​
The difference in the boiling points of the liquids P and Q:​​
10078=22C​​

Fractional distillation is used to separate a mixture of miscible liquids that have a difference in boiling points of less than 25C.

(ii) A more volatile liquid is the one that has a lower boiling point. The more volatile component rises to the top of the fractionating column while the less volatile component is retained at the bottom of the column.​

Thus, a. is the correct option.
