Question

Two miscible liquids are separated by:

• A. distillation
• B. decantation
• C. sublimation
• D. filtration

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

distillation

• Two miscible liquids are separated by distillation. It is based on the difference in their boiling points.
• Decantation is used to separate two immiscible liquids or solid-liquid mixtures.
• Sublimation is used to separate components of a mixture containing a sublimable volatile solid and a non-sublimable impurity.
• Filtration is used to separate solid-liquid mixtures.

Hence the correct option is $A$.
