A flask contains a mixture of isohexane and \(3 -\) methylpentane. One of the liquids boils at \(63^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) while the other boils at \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) What is the best way to seprate the two liquids and which one will be distilled out first?
- A simple distillation, \(3-\)methylpentane
- B simple distillation, isohexane
- C fractional distillation, isohexane
- D fractional distillation, \(3-\)methylpentane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) fractional distillation, isohexane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Liquid which have less difference in boiling point can be isolated by fractional distillation and liquid with less boiling point will be isolated first.
