Question

acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water. if you had a mixture of acetic acid and water, you could seperate it by?

Answer 1

Since acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water and vinegar and water are highly miscible, we cant separate the two by filtration but one way is to use their volatilities. We can boil the solution at 100oC and thats the time, water remains in the container.
