Question

Which of the following technique is used to separate miscible liquids?

• A. Distillation
• B. Filtration
• C. Evaporation
• D. Separating funnel

Answer 1

The correct option is A Distillation

Distillation is the method of separation of components of a mixture containing two miscible liquids having significant difference in their boiling point.

For example: The mixture of acetone (b.p. is ${56}^0\text{C}$) and water (b.p. is ${100}^0\text{C}$) is separated using distillation. They form vapours at different temperatures and then these vapours can be condensed separately to obtain pure liquids.
