A mixture of dichloromethane and aniline can be separated by

  1. A distillation
  2. B sublimation
  3. C crystallisation
  4. D fractional distillation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) distillation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The boiling point of dichloromethane is \(394^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and aniline is \(184.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Both exist in liquid state. Hence, to separate liquid components of a mixture having different boiling points, we use distillation.
