Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Two liquids of a mixture having the same boiling point cannot be separated using the process of distillation.

Distillation is one of the process of physical separation techniques.

  • It relies on physical property called the boiling point.
  • In a fractionating column, a mixture is heated
  • As the boiling point of the each component compound in the mixture is reached, the compound rises up within the column.

So without a difference in the boiling point of the compound that makes up a mixture, the separation by distillation will not be possible.
