Question

Distillation is a method that depends on differences in the boiling points of liquids to separate the components of a liquid mixture. Explain why you would separate a homogeneous mixture of two miscible liquids in this way but not a mixture of two immiscible liquids.

Answer 1

Explanation:

for immiscible liquids it is quite easy to separate and the separating funnel can be used but for miscible liquid they form a single entity and separating them is quite impossible if the differences in temperature is not considered,so in distillation the one with lower boiling point evaporates out living behind the one with high boiling point
