Q:

A mixture of ethyl alcohol and water can be seperated by

A) evaporation	B) sublimation
C) using a seperating funnel	D) fractional distillation

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 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.
