Question

Equal amounts of ethanol and water are mixed at room temperature and at 101.3 kPa. Which process is used to separate the ethanol from the mixture?

Answer 1

The answer is (1) distillation. Because the ethanol and water will mix well to form a solution

Answer 2

The process is known as fractional distillation

Step-by-step explanation:

• In order to separate the water from the ethanol at mixed room temperature with pressie of 1013 Kpa. The technique relies on the differential boiling points of the vapors that form a mixture above the flasks.

• Thus the lower boiling points will lead to vaporize and rise through the column. Thus the remaining solution will bet concentrated and the amount of solvent it will decrease and substance with the lowest boiling point or room temperature will be collected first.
