  • Question
  • A mixture of ethyl alcohol and water can be seperated by


  • Options
  • A. evaporation
  • B. sublimation
  • C. using a seperating funnel
  • D. fractional distillation

  • Correct Answer
  • fractional distillation 

    Explanation

    Fractional distillation is the process of seperation of a mixture of two or more liquids into the different fractions, which differ fairly widely in their boiling points. The liquid with a lower boiling point will be vaporized first and hence would be the distillate (first fraction). Eg. Ethyl alcohol has a boiling point of  78 . 1 0 C  and water  100 0 C . When a mixture of these two liquids is heated, alcohol vaporizes first and is collected separately as the distillate.
