Answer 2

Homogeneous mixture with components of different boiling points

Step-by-step explanation:

• Distillation is a method of separating miscible mixtures which contain components that have different boiling points.
• The mixture is heated and the component with the low boiling point evaporates first. It is then condensed in the condenser and the distillate collected using a clean beaker.
• For example, a miscible solution of ethanol and water can be separated using distillation.
• Ethanol and water have different boiling points of 78°C and 100°C respectively. Ethanol is distilled out first because it has a low boiling point compared to water.
