The boiling point of water is always ~100oC. However, it will vary depending on impurities (e.g. salt water has lower bp) and pressure (higher pressure, higher bp).

Why is it possible to separate mixtures of liquids by boiling?

It is possible to separate mixtures of liquids by boiling because each component of the mixture has a different boiling point. When the mixture is heated, the component with the lowest boiling point will vaporize first, leaving behind the other component. The vapor can then be condensed back into a liquid, resulting in the separation of the two components.


Do the different liquid have different boiling points?

Boiling point is the temperature at which the atmospheric temperature becomes equal to temperature of the liquid......hence it completly depends upon the atmospheric temperature and the temperature of the liquid.....so different liquids will have different boiling points......


What physical property of hydrocarbons is used for fractional distillation?

If the hydrocarbons are in the liquid state then their differential boiling points are used in separation - fractional distillation. Some hydrocarbons are also separated by their differential solubility in some organic solvents. =)


How is simple distillation different from evaporation?

Simple distillation involves heating a liquid to its boiling point, then collecting and condensing the vapor to separate it from other components in the mixture. Evaporation, on the other hand, occurs when a liquid turns into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point, typically at the surface of the liquid exposed to air.


How argon is separated from air?

Argon is separated from air by a process called cryogenic distillation. Air is cooled to very low temperatures to liquefy and then slowly heated up. As different components of air have different boiling points, argon is separated from other gases based on its boiling point which is lower than that of nitrogen and oxygen.
