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.


The pure liquid that is collected after distillation?

It is called the filtrate.


What happens when ethanol is added to soap?

From the experiment, why is a mixture of ethanol and water instead of simply water itself used for saponification? ... Ethanol is the catalyst in saponification C. Ethanol would help the soaps obtained from saponification reaction become more soluble in water D.


How do you separate a mixture of sand and iodine?

First heat the mixture; the iodine will sublime and turn to a vapor which can be collected. Then add water to the remaining salt/sand mixture; the salt will dissolve but the sand will not. Finally, evaporate the water to obtain the solid salt.

How much water should be added to 30 gallons of a solution that is 70 percent antifreeze in order to get a mixture that is 60 percent antifreeze?

First off do not use tap water. Use only distilled water. You will need to add 3 gallons of distilled water to the solution to get 60% antifreeze and 40% distilled water or a 60/40 mix.

Tequila Sorry but the fact is that the first distilled spirit is Sotol


Will gasoline and diesel fuel mix together?

Yes. And it's not a consistent one. Which hydrocarbons are called "diesel" depends on the raw source of the petroleum it is distilled from.


How do you separate mixture of methanol ethyl acetate and water?

This type of mixture is distilled by extractive distillation method. First, methanoic mixture is separated by feeding the required rate of water in the extractor with the counter-current of these two liquids. Later on GC is done for methanol content in the organic layer and if it comes below the required level, it is taken for rectificaton in the column.


In the mixture of acetone and water how does the composition of the first vapor produced compare with that of the original mixture?

There is a difference in volatility, the lowest boiling is easier to evaporate from the liquid mixture when heated. So it is more in the firstly distilled of condensate than in the 'bottom' rusidual fluid in the boiling kettle.


What does the oxidation of ethanol produce?

Ethanol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde which can be further oxidised to acetic acid


What will boil first water or alcohol?

I assume that by "boils faster" you really mean "boils at a lower temperature", and that by "alcohol" you mean "ethanol". Ethanol has a lower boiling temperature than water at standard pressure. However, a mixture of ethanol and water boils lower than either by themselves do. This is called an "azeotrope" and it happens for ethanol/water mixtures at about 95% ethanol, which is why it's essentially impossible to get ethanol to more than 190 proof by distillation alone.
