There are three liquids A, B and C, all having different densities and different boiling points. Liquids A and C are organic in nature whereas liquid B is considered to be inorganic. When liquids A and B are put together in a container, they form a single layer. On the other hand, when, liquids B and C are mixed, they form two separate layers :

(a) Which process will you use to separte a mixture of A and B ?

(b) Which method will you use to separate a mixture of B and C ?

(c) Name the liquids which would behave like (i) A (ii) B and (iii) C.

Solution

(a) We will use fractional distillation to separate a mixture of A and B.

(b) We will use separating funnel to separate a mixture of B and C.

(c)

(ii) Water would behave like B.

(iii) Oil would behave like C.

We have three liquids A, B, and C. When liquids A and B are put together in a container, they form a single layer and the difference between the boiling point of A and B is more than $25^{\circ} C$ . On the other hand, when, liquids B and C are mixed, they form two separate layers. Which of below-mentioned separation technique is used to separate the mixture of A and B, B and C?

Q. The given mixture contains three constituents A, B and C. The constituent A is a yellow coloured, solid element which dissolved in a liquid D. The constituent B is a blue coloured salt which is insoluble in liquid D but dissolves easily in another liquid E. The constitudent C is a liquid which is used in cooking food and forms a solid fat on hydrogenation.
