Two liquids isohexane and 3-methylpentane has boiling point 60°C and 63°C. They can be separated by (1) Simple distillation and isohexane comes out first. (2) Fractional distillation and isohexane comes out first. (3) Simple distillation and 3-Methylpantane comes out first. (4) Fractional distillation and 3-Methylpantane comes out first. |
|
Answer» Answer: (2) Fractional distillation and isohexane comes out first. Liquid having lower boiling point comes out first in fractional distillation. Simple distillation can't be used as boiling point difference is very small. |

A flask contains a mixture of isohexane and 3- methylpentane. One of the liquids boils at 63°C while the other boils at 60°C. What is the best way to seprate the two liquids and which one will be distilled out first? (1) simple distillation, 3-methylpentane (2) simple distillation, isohexane (3) fractional distillation, isohexane(4) fractional distillation, 3-methylpentane |
|
Answer» Answer is (3) fractional distillation, isohexane Liquid which have less difference in boiling point can be isolated by fractional distillation and liquid with less boiling point will be isolated first. Answer is (3) As difference in Boiling point is very less ∴ Fractional distillation Higher boiling point liq. will be obtained as distillate. |
