Chemistry - PRACTICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Question with Solution | TestHub
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as
Assertion (A): A simple distillation can be used to separate a mixture of propanol and propanone.
Reason (R): Two liquids with a difference of more thanin their boiling points can be separated by simple distillations.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Simple distilation is the method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture. The components in a sample mixture are vaporised by the application of heat and then immediately cooled by the action of cold water in a condenser. Two liquids with a difference of more thanin their boiling points can be separated by simple distillations.
