Which method of separation would be most appropriate for separating a mixture of water and alcohol?

A. evaporation

B. chromatography

C. distillation

D. filtration


Sagot :

To separate a mixture of alcohol and water, you can use a process known as fractional distillation. This technique relies on the fact that the compounds in the mixture have different boiling points.

Answer:C. distillation

Explanation:

Compounds having  different boiling points when  mixed can be separated by Fractional distillation.

Now when there is a mixture of  water and alcohol, Upon heat, we would see that the alcohol will boil at a lower temperature than water  for eg, ethanol will boil at 78.5 degrees Celsius, vaporizes and  distills into the fractionating columns leaving the  water which we know boils at 100 degrees  Celsius.
