A beaker contains both alcohol and water can these liquids be separated by distillation because the liquids have different densities?
Yes. The liquids can be separated by distillation. That's how they separate the gasoline from
the 40-weight motor oil in the same barrel of crude. But it's not because the components
have different densities. It's because they boil at different temperatures.
The temperature is set above the boiling point of one substance in the mixture, but below
the boiling point of another one. The first substance boils off and is led away to another
container, while the second substance gets hot but stays where it is because it doesn't
boil. The process is called "fractional distillation".

What is the difference between simple distillation and fractional distillation?
Simple distillation refers to the "simple" separation of a solid and a liquid by evaporating the liquid and collecting it after it passes through a condenser to be changed into a liquid state. Fractional distillation refers to the more complex way of separation, usually involving a liquid/liquid mixture (eg. ethanol and water). these can be separated since they both have different boiling points. When this mixture is heated the ethanol having the lowest boiling point boils off first, followed by the water. However the fractional coulomb condenses both gases back into liquid, and fall back in the flask, with time the ethanol gains enough energy to over come the fractional coulomb (this happen before the water does this since ethanol has a LOWER boiling point) and pass through the condenser, changes into a liquid and is collected.
What is inside a Galileo thermometer?
A Galileo thermometer contains a clear liquid, usually alcohol or water, and several glass spheres filled with different colored liquids. The spheres are calibrated with specific densities so they rise or fall based on the temperature of the surrounding environment.
What light contains many colours?
White light contains many colors because it is composed of a combination of different wavelengths of light. When white light passes through a prism, it gets separated into its component colors, forming a spectrum of colors like a rainbow.
What is inside a Galileo thermometer and how does it work?
A Galileo thermometer contains liquid-filled glass bulbs of different densities. As the temperature changes, the bulbs rise or sink in the liquid, indicating the temperature. This works because the density of the liquid changes with temperature, causing the bulbs to move accordingly.
What colors does sunlight or white light contain?
Sunlight or white light contains all the colors of the spectrum, which includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This is why white light can be separated into different colors through a prism.
How crude oil is separated into useful fraction?
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
Where can you find a list of different densities of water at different temperatures?
Within a Chemistry book that contains a section on the results of laboratory experiments that determine and define these parameters. This section may also list densities of water at different saline concentrations.
How can you tell what a compound is and what a mixture is?
A compound contains 2 or more different elements chemically bonded together (you can't separate them by distillation, filtration, evaporation etc). A mixture contains two or more different substances that are not chemically bonded together.
Does A mixture contains different substances that are not chemically combined with one another?
Yes. A mixture contains different substances that are not chemically combined with one another. The parts of a mixture can be separated through physical means.
Mixture contains to or more what?
A mixture contains two or more different substances that are physically combined together, but not chemically bonded. This allows the components to be separated by physical means.
How is crude made into products?
Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.
Explain why the distillate from the steam distillation was turbid especially early in the distillation?
Steam distillation is a process used to separate a compound that contains immiscible liquids. Because these organic substances are insoluble, the distillate from the steam distillation process will be turbid at the beginning of the process.
What kind of mixture is petroleum?
Petroleum, that is unrefined crude oil is a heterogeneous mixture. These hydrocarbon components are separated and refined in fractional distillation columns. Refined constituents include diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene for example.
Fractional distillation and the impact on the environment?
Fractional distillation it is separating mixtures via their boiling points. Fractional distillation is done by adding some sort of material into the column that the vapor travels before being cooled and condensed while. Since the fractional distillation means the separation of a mixture into different componenets.Suppose the raw material entering into the distillation column contains many fraction(for example,if a crude oil is entering,it contains gases,gasoline,kerosene etc). if a distillation is done for such a material.this will be the fractional distillation.Because in a distillation column you will separate different components present in the crude Check the related question below to know more.
How can mixtures be sepreated?
Methods are: distillation, sieving, decantation, filtration, ion exchange - depending on the type of mixture.

What are lungs separated by?
Mediastinum. That is the cavity that contains the heart.
