Because they evaporate at different rates, each has a different boiling point.

Explain why distillation is a good way to separate C8H18 and C5H12 liquids?
both of these are liquid hydrocarbons so have the same chemical properties therefore can not beseparated by chemical means by physical means their separation is not possible by filtration because both are miscible so only method to separate them is fractional distillation because they have different boiling points.
The best way to separate iron fillings and salt?
using distillation
Why can you separate crude oil using distillation?
To separate crude oil through the process called fractional distillation is the purest way to do it, it is also faster and less labour.
How do you separate kerosene and crude oil?
kerosene and petrol can be separated by the process of fractional distillation.
What is a quick way to separate salt from water so you can drink the water?
Distillation or pass it through a deioniser, an ion exchange resin. I prefer distillation, deionised water always has a taste to it!
What is steam distillation and why is it a preferred technique to purify high boiling liquids that are water insoluble?
steam distillation is an effective way to separate slightly volatile water insolube substance from nonvolatile material
What would be the best way to separate solutions with different boiling points?
Analytically GLC is the best (Gas chromatography)In a productive way distillation is prominent.
How can mixtures separated?
the main way of separating a solution is evaporation or distillation, to separate two liquids this doesn't work. someone improve my answer.
Is there a way to separate a solution?
Separation of a solid from the solution: filtering Separation of a liquid from the solution: distillation Separation of a gas from the solution: degasing
How could you separate three gases?
The easiest way to separate three gases is to liquefy them all by cooling, and then gradually warm them up and separate them by fractional distillation (since each liquefied gas will have a different boiling point).
What is the distillation of water and ink useful for?
Not a lot. But distillation is used to separate the components of a mixture. A scenario where distillation of urine for example is useful is if you are stranded in a desert. You can find a way to distill your urine so that the water in it evaporates and condenses so that you have pure drinkable water... Distillation of ink however is not very useful unless you wanted to identify different parts of ink
How does distillation separate a mixture of differant liquids?
We can separate a mixture of different liquids in the process of distillation by evaporating and condensing to make sure nothing is dissolved in it. Distillation as a separation method is based on the differences between boiling points of liquids.
