For basic idea, different liquid had different boiling point thus upon boiling the vapour would contain more of the lower boiling point and separated out.

Distillation can be used separate solutions of miscible liquids because?

Distillation can be used to separate solutions of miscible liquids, because the liquids have different boiling points. Distillation works because it vaporizes the more volatile of the two liquids.


Is ink a miscible liquid?

Miscible in/with what? I am going to assume in water. Then, yes, they are miscible.


Is a nonpolar compound miscible with water?

No, nonpolar compounds are typically not miscible with water because water is a polar molecule. Polar compounds dissolve in water due to the similar nature of their molecular structure, while nonpolar compounds do not have the same attraction to water molecules.


Explain why a distillation would not separate a mixture of the miscible liquids formic acid which boils at 100.7 degrees celsius and water which boils at 100 degrees celsius?

This is because their boiling points are close. Distillation is used to separate mixtures in which their constituents have boiling points that are relatively far apart. A better method would be fractional distillation which can be used to separate mixtures in which their constituents have relatively close boiling points.


Why do the solutions not mixed in a separating funnel?

Solutions in a separating funnel separate into distinct layers based on their densities. The denser solution will settle at the bottom due to gravity, and the lighter solution will remain on top. Mixing would disrupt this stratification and cause the solutions to mix together, negating the purpose of the separating funnel.


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.


Why is crude oil separated by fractional distillation?

Petroleum is a mixture of various useful constituents and cannot be used directly,so to use it we have to seperate petroleum by a method called fractional distillation of petroleum.


Distillation can be used to separate solutions of miscible liquids because ?

Distillation works because liquids boil at different temperatures. Roughly speaking, in order to separate two liquids, you should heat the mixture to a temperature where one of the liquids (but not the other) is past its boiling temperature. Then the first liquid will boil off, leaving the second liquid behind; you can collect the first liquid in a condenser.


Is cyclohexane and isopropyl alcohol miscible?

No, cyclohexane and isopropyl alcohol are not miscible because they have different polarities. Cyclohexane is nonpolar, while isopropyl alcohol is polar due to the presence of the -OH group.


Are sugar and hexane miscible?

No, sugar and hexane are not miscible because sugar is polar and water-soluble, while hexane is nonpolar and does not mix with water.


Are acetone and ethanol miscible?

No, they are miscible. Acetone dissolves both polar compounds and nonpolar comounds well. That's why acetone is used to wash chemicals off.


Why evaporation and distillation can separate a solute from a solution using the particle model of matter?

Evaporation and distillation can separate a solute from a solution because the solute particles are less cohesive than the solvent particles. During evaporation, solvent particles gain enough kinetic energy to overcome intermolecular forces and escape into the gas phase, leaving the solute behind. In distillation, the solution is heated, and the solvent vaporizes, leaving the solute behind in the liquid state.
