What is the technique used to separate ethanol from a mixture of ethanol and propanol?

Distillation would work. Those two liquids have different boiling points, and heating it up to the boiling point of the lowest liquid would cause it to boil away, leaving behind the other.

What technique could be used to separate water and ethanol?
Water and Ethanol have different boiling points of 100 and 78 degree celcius.Therefore the best technique to be used for its separation is simple distillation.When this ids done, alcohol distils over at 78degrees leaving water behind thus the mixture has been separated.
Describe how distillation is used to separate a mixture of ethanol and water?
Distillation is based on the difference between boiling points of liquids. Ethanol is separated first.The distillation is possible only to an ethanol concentration of 95,63 % because an azeotropic mixture is formed.
Is the mixture of ethanol in water a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?
The mixture water-ethanol is homogeneous.
Which separation technique would you use to separate the mixture of sodium chloride and water?
Evaporation
Why is it easier to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur than to separate a compound of iron and sulfur?
because a mixture is physically combine while a compound is chemically combine thus make is eaiser for the mixture to separate using the technique magnetic separation.
What is the chemical formula rubbing alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol is a mixture of ethanol, iso-propanol, a dye etc.

Is ethanol a mixture of compounds?
No. Ethanol is also alcohol. Ethanol is a compound. It is not a mixture.
Is ethanol a heterogenous mixture or homogenous mixture?
Ethanol is not a mixture at all. It is a compound and therefore a pure substance.
Is ethanol ch3ch2oha mixture?
Pure ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is an pure organic compound and not a mixture
How would you separate a mixture of water and ethanol?
By fractional distillation. Heat the mixture gently. As the temperature rises both liquids will evaporate and should be cooled and the condensate collected. The temperature will stabilise at around 78 deg C when all the remaining ethanol will evaporate.What you are left with is pure water. The condensate is mainly ethanol with a small quantity of water. It can be distilled again to increase its purity.
