Answer 2

I think Acetone will be captured and cooled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distillation is a method of separation based on the difference in boiling point of two liquids.

The liquid that has a lower boiling point is first separated from the mixture. It vaporizes, cooled and collected before the liquid that has a higher boiling point.

In this case, acetone is captured and cooled before water since it has a boiling point of 56ºC and water has a boiling point of 100ºC.
