What is the difference between distillation, distillation under reduced pressure and steam distillation?
Options
- ADistillation is a process that separates components based on their boiling points, distillation under reduced
- BDistillation is a process that separates components based on their chemical reactivity, distillation under red
- CDistillation is a process that separates components based on their density, distillation under reduced pressur
- DDistillation is a process that separates components based on their solubility, distillation under reduced pres
Correct answer
A. Distillation is a process that separates components based on their boiling points, distillation under reduced
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Distillation is a process that separates components based on their boiling points, distillation under reduced pressure is used to purify liquids having very high boiling points and those, which decompose at or below their boiling points and steam distillation is applied to separate substances which are steam volatile and are immiscible with water.
