Which one of the following methods is suitable to separate a mixture of \(n\)-pentane and toluene?

  1. A Steam distillation
  2. B Simple distillation
  3. C Sublimation
  4. D Vacuum distillation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Simple distillation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) Toluene is \(n\)-pentane ion \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3\) one is aromatic and other is straight chain compound. Therefore, it can be separated by simple distillation.
