- BDistillation is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their solubility in a s
- CDistillation is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their density. The mixt
- DDistillation is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their boiling points. T
Correct answer
D. Distillation is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their boiling points. T
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Distillation is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their boiling points. The mixture is heated to vapourise the component with the lowest boiling point, and that vapour is then condensed back into a liquid. An example is the distillation of crude oil to obtain various fractions such as gasoline and diesel.
