Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Simple distillation can be used to separate a mixture of propanol and propanone.
• Two liquid with difference in B.P. around 20°C can be separated by simple distillation.
• B.P. of propanol is 370 K.
B.P. of acetone is 329 K.
Both assertion & reason are correct & (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
