Question

How will you separate a solution of benzene and chloroform?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf Distillation}$

Explanation:

• State of benzene at RTP = liquid
• State of chloroform at RTP = liquid
• Boiling point of benzene = 80.1 °C
• Boiling point of chloroform = 61.2 °C

Since, both of the chemicals are liquids, we can separate it by the process of distillation.

Distillation:

• is the process in which we separate two liquids on the basis of their difference in boiling points.

How it works:

Since chloroform has less boiling point, it will evaporate and collected first and benzene will follow it after sometime.
