Solution

The correct option is C
Greater than 25 °C

Greater than 25 °C

Simple distillation can be used effectively to separate liquids that have at least 50 °C difference in their boiling points.

Simple distillation is a procedure by which two liquids with different boiling points can be separated. As the liquid being distilled is heated, the vapors that form will be richest in the component of the mixture that boils at the lowest temperature.
