Solution
-
No, they can be separated by separating funnel.
- The physical property on which separation is based “Difference in their boiling points.”
-
Water having boiling point 100°C will remain in flask ‘X’.
- Alcohol having lower B.P. 78°C will evaporate first and condense in the conical flask — receiver ‘Y’.
- The upper part of the ‘Fractionating column is cooler, so as the hot vapours rise up in the column, they get cooled (condense) and trickle back into the distillation flask ‘X’.
