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.
Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons and carbon-12 has 6 neutrons. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon. Carbon-14 is radioactive and very rare. The symbols for the isotopes of carbon atoms shown here indicate they each have six protons but mass numbers of 14, 13 and 12.
