Question

The process used to separate a mixture of two or more miscible liquids when the difference in their boiling points is less than $25{}^{\circ }C$ is ___.

• A. Distillation
• B. Fractional distillation
• C. Centrifugation
• D. Separating funnel

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Fractional distillation

Miscible liquids are those which properly mix with each other to form a single phase and no distinct layers are visible.

To separate two miscible liquids with the large difference in boiling points i.e. more than $25{}^{\circ }C$, distillation can be used. If the difference between the boiling points of miscible liquid is less than $25{}^{\circ }C$ then fractional distillation is used.
