Q322

Water can be separated from alcohol water mixture by

A.
Decantation
B.
Evaporation
C.
Distillation
Answer
D.
Sublimation

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
To separate a mixture of alcohol (ethanol) and water, you can use a process known as fractional distillation. This technique relies on the fact that the compounds in the mixture have different boiling points. Since ethanol boils at a lower temperature (78.5 degrees Celsius) than water, the alcohol vaporizes while most of the water remains a liquid.
