QJEEM20Ch1208: JEE Main 2020 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM20Ch1208 Solution: A flask contains a mixture of isohexane and 3-methylpentane.…
A flask contains a mixture of isohexane and 3-methylpentane. One of the liquids boils at 63oC while the other boils at 60oC What is the best way to separate the two liquids and which one will be distilled out first ?
Multiple Choice Options
- A fractional distillation, isohexane
- B fractional distillation, 3-methylpentane
- C simple distillation, 3-methylpentane
- D simple distillation, isohexane
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Isohexane and 3 Methylpentane Having same molecular formula.
Isohexane boil at 60oC and 3-Methyl pentane boil at 63oC. Both Having low Boiling point difference so Fractional distillation is useful for separation and Isohexane Having low Boiling point So comes out first.
