Answer;

Fractional distillation

Step-by-step explanation;

-Fractional distillation is one of the method that is used to separate mixtures. It is used for the separation of miscible liquids, for example water and alcohol.

-Fractional distillation is a distillation method that is used to separate liquids that dissolve in each other. It involves separating the components of a mixture by repeated distillations and condensations.

-The components in the mixture being separated by this method normally have different but close boiling points. For example a mixture of alcohol and water, they have different but close boiling points, thus during distillation alcohol condenses out as the first fraction followed by water.
