A flask contains a mixture of isohexane and 3 -methylpentane. One of the liquids boils at 63 o C while the other boils at 60 o C . What is the best way to separate the two liquids and which one will be distilled out first?
Options
- Afractional distillation, isohexane
- Bsimple distillation, 3 -methylpentane
- Csimple distillation, isohexane
- Dfractional distillation, 3 -methylpentane
Correct answer
A. fractional distillation, isohexane
Step-by-step solution
Liquid having lower boiling point comes out first in fractional distillation. fractional distillation is generally used if in boiling point is small.
