Question

Suggest a suitable method to separate the components of the mixture of two volatile components with an appreciable difference in boiling points.

Answer 1

$\text{Distillation}$

This method is used for the separation of a mixture containing two miscible liquids that boil without decomposing and have a large difference between their boiling points. The process of conversion of a liquid into vapor by boiling and then recondensing the vapor into liquid is called distillation. In this method, a liquid that has a lower boiling point will evaporate first at constant temperature and after condensation can be collected in another vessel in this way we can separate a mixture of volatile liquids.
