Question

What is an effective method for separating a mixture of alcohol and water? A. . mixing the ingredients B. . distillation C. evaporation D. magnetism

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which liquid mixture is separated by selective boiling and condensation is known as distillation process.

It is known that boiling point of alcohols is low therefore, when a mixture of alcohol and water is boiled then alcohol will evaporate from the mixture and the water will remain as the liquid.

Therefore, the distillation column will collect the vapors of alcohol separately and hence, it can be separated from water.

Thus, we can conclude that distillation is an effective method for separating a mixture of alcohol and water.

Answer 2

The  effective method for separating a mixture of alcohol and water is the
Distillation
 By this you only get about 70% alcohol 30% water
As  they are  azeotropes and cannot be distilled further
so correct option is B
