Which of the following techniques is used to separate components of immiscible liquids.
Fractional distillation
Explanation for correct option.
(B)-Fractional distillation
Fractional distillation is the process of separation of two or more miscible liquids with different boiling points. The boiling point of the liquid is less the 25K.
Example-Separation of water and oil.
Explanation for incorrect options.
(A)-Evaporation
Evaporation is the process by which the liquid changes into its vapour state.
Example- Method of separation of salt from seawater.
(C)-Sublimation
Sublimation is the process by which the solid substance directly changes into its vapour on heating without forming a liquid.
Example-Iodine, Camphor.
(D)-Filtration
In the process of separating suspended solid from matter from liquid, the solution allows passing through pores of the membrane.
Example-Separation of tealeaves from tea.
Therefore option (B) is the correct answer.
