What do you call the method of separating two liquids in a solution?

Answer 1

Since there are lots of different kinds of liquids and they have various properties, there is no one technique that would be used in all cases, but it is very common to separate liquids based upon differences in boiling point, so you can heat a mixture and collect the vapor which may contain only one of the liquids; this process is called distillation. If the liquids are immiscible, it's trivial: use centrifugation and/or a separatory funnel.

Answer 2

By using a sepratory funnel, distilling (so finding the different boiling points of different liquids, and collecting the differnt evaporation), and the process of chromatography (search it up) :D

Answer 3

You can separate them by distillation. You heat the liquid mixture until one of the liquids starts to boil. If you allow the vapor to move away from the boiling mixture (for example, through a tube), you can then cool it and condense it back into the liquid form. All you have left in the original mixture is the liquid with the higher boiling point.

This can only happen if the boiling temperature, of the second unboiled liquid is much higher than the boiling temperature, of the first liquid. Usually the second liquid evaporates due to the uncontrolled heat from the burner, or heating element. To retain a liquid, and a gas using temperature, the temperature must be controlled exactly at the temperature of the first liquids boiling temperature, for the first liquid to turn to a gas. This can only happen if the original liquid has had other mixtures added to the liquid. A basic element cannot be separated, unless you can go above the basic elements boiling temperature and separate the molecules, turning one set of molecules to a gas while others remain a liquid. You will know this happened when the gas created, has the portion of liquid, that turns to a gas, and this gas or vapor, doesn't condense at the temperature the basic liquid, in a gas form, would condense at. You will also know when the remaining liquid, changes from a flammable liquid to a non flammable liquid. The gas or vapor can change from a nonflammable to a flammable gas, or vapor, depending upon what molecules are separated, in what liquids.

What if someone found a way to take any liquid to any temperature, say above the boiling temperature, of the basic liquid? You Tube, White Gasoline Vapor. Remember what can be done to one liquid, can be done to any liquid. I did it to gasoline. Read everything, including the comments.

Well, I have something else going on besides distillation. Look at the white vapor in the video, no liquid is present. I am actually cooling the gas, or vapor even more, when it passes through the drier vent flex aluminum tube, going to the carburetor, which I only use the butterfly valve under the carburetor to control the vapor, intake. Gasoline would be a liquid at any temperature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I am on the southern Oregon coast in the video, and wearing a flannel shirt, with long sleeves, not even close to the 100 degree temperature needed to keep the gasoline in a gaseous state. The separation of the liquid and gas in my process is due to the fact I can apply any specific temperature to the liquid, and some of the liquid molecules boil, while the other portion of the original liquid remains a liquid, not having reached it's boiling temperature.. Never before done. Boiling or distillation is taking the original liquid to it's boiling temperature, applying heat to the liquid. I do the opposite I apply the liquid to the heat, allowing me to apply any specific heat I desire, to this liquid, and separate the gas and the liquid molecules in the original liquid, by finding the boiling temperature of one of the liquid molecules in the original liquid, turning it to a gas, while the remainder of the liquid, remains a liquid, not having reached it's boiling temperature.

Now as for the white gas, it turns white at the point, when in my process, I get bubbles. When the bubbles break the clear gas inside the bubbles turns white instantly. Now as we all know when a molecular separation occurs a void is created in the original molecular structure, and mother nature fills this void with what ever substance or gas that is present when the void is created. In my case air is present in the chamber, and oxygen being the dominate gas, fills this void, turning my clear gas white. This gives me double the BTU factor on the gasoline, even above diesel. This can no longer be gasoline. Argue with this.

Something else, in the separation of gasoline in my process, I get a non flammable liquid, whose boiling temperature is higher that 600 degrees Fahrenheit, I know because I could only reach 600 degrees with the equipment I had. This liquid will not mix with gasoline anymore. Substances made from an original liquid are soluble with the mother liquid. My liquid is not. I thought it was my nemesis, for making a vehicle run on vapor, but now I know just what I really did. See this on You Tube, White Gasoline Vapor, by IAMBILLYTHEKID. Read everything.

Answer 4

distillation
I think fractional distillation does the job.

You start heating the liquid solution in a distillation chamber, and since their boiling points are different, they'll evaporate at different temperatures. You can have filters to trap the vapors and liquefy them separately.

All of this happens, given that the two liquids are separable.

Answer 5

Fractional Distillation is the best because no two liquids can have the same boiling points.

Answer 6

The simplest method is distillation; for immiscible liquids decantation is also used.

Answer 7

I do not know but I need to for my test
