After obtaining a mixture of ethanol and pure water from a mixture of ethanol and sea water through distillation which liquid will be collected first and last?

The liquid that boils at a lower temperature will become a gas first and this will be the first one that you collect. Water boils at 100 degrees C and methanol boils at 64.7 degrees C so you will collect methanol first and then water.

How do you collect ethanol if it is in a mixture with water?
Distillation. Ethanol can be easily collected from water using distillation up to 97% purity.
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.
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.
Can simple distillation be done to separate water from aqueous magnesium sulphate?
Yes.Because simple distillation is a separating of a mixture through heating.it is only applied to separate volatile liquid from the nonvolatile ones.The gas created by the distillation is collected through condensation to form a liquid again.Thank you '_'

How fractional distillation occurs in liquor?
Fractional distillation is the process of separating two (or more) liquids based upon differences in their boiling points. In liquor, ethanol has a lower boiling point than water, so a mixture of water and ethanol can be heated to allow the alcohol to boil. The vapor goes through a tube, is cooled and collected in a separate container, and a mixture that was mostly water is now mostly ethanol.
How to obtain pure water and ethanol from a mixture of sea water and ethanol?
You would use distillation, in which the ethanol and water will boil at different temperatures.
If a water ethanol mixture is distilled which will be collected first?
The ethanol will be distilled first and the water stays in the flask
Can steam distillation of ethanol be done using a mixture of ethanol and water?
I dont think so because ethanol, containing an OH group is readily soluble in water.
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.
How do you separate ethanol from rum?
Ethanol can be separated from rum through a process called distillation. In distillation, the mixture is heated to convert the ethanol into a vapor. The vapor is then cooled and condensed back into a liquid form, separating it from the other components of rum. This process takes advantage of the difference in boiling points between ethanol and the other components, allowing for their separation.
Why theoretical value of ethanol in distillation process is differ with experimental value?
While the distillation is going on ,at 94.6% ethanol-water mixture forms an azeotrope which hampers further distillation.So ethanol cannot be made 100% pure.But concentration of ethanol can be increased by breaking the azeotrope by addition of benzene in large amount.
How is ethanol separated from a fermented mixture?
By fractional distillation, methanol boils at about 61 Celsius while ethanol at 78.5 Celsius.
What would be left in the flask when separating alcohol from water using fractional distillation?
In order to separate a mixture of alcohol (ethanol) and water, use a process known as fractional distillation. This technique relies on the principle that the compounds in the mixture have different boiling points. Since ethanol boils at a lower temperature (78.5 degrees C) than water, the alcohol vaporizes while the water remains a liquid. At some point, it will become an azeotropic mixture where the vapor has the same composition as the liquid. A good distillation column will produce an azeotropic mixture of 95 percent alcohol and 5 percent water. This ratio represents the most pure form of ethanol possible with distillation and is widely accepted as an industry standard.
What is a separation method that allows all liquid fractions of a mixture to be separate from each other and collected in different containers?
Fractional distillation.
