Question

Alcohol and water have different melting points. which method would you use to separate them?

Answer 1

The process of separating alcohol from water can be done in several different ways. The most familiar method is through heating the blended liquid. Since alcohol has a lower boiling temperature than water, it will rapidly become steam. It can then be condensed into a separate container. You can also freeze the alcoholic mixture, which allows for partial removal of the nonalcoholic components; what remains will be more rich in alcohol. Use ordinary table salt to separate isopropyl alcohol from water. The result will be a condensed isopropyl alcohol, not a drinking alcohol.
