Question

A science student wants to use distillation to separate a mixture of two

Answer 1

Answer:

Boiling point

Explanation:

Distillation is one of the most widely used separation technique in chemistry. It is used to separate a mixture of liquid substances with different boiling point. Hence, the basis of the separation is BOILING POINT DIFFERENCE.

In the procedure, the liquid substances are heated until they turn gaseous, which they do at different times considering their different boiling points. The separated components are then converted back to liquid states in a process called CONDENSATION.
