Which purification technique is most suitable for separating a mixture of CHCl₃ (b.p. 61°C) and CH₃COCH₃ (b.p. 56°C)?

Fractional distillation separates liquids with close boiling points (difference < 25°C) using a fractionating column.

A mixture of two liquids with boiling points 75°C and 90°C is separated efficiently on a large scale using which techniq

A 15°C difference (< 25°C) requires fractional distillation for efficient large-scale separation due to close boiling points.

Which separation technique is most suitable for a mixture of two liquids with boiling points 65°C and 95°C, where one is

Differential extraction can exploit solubility differences (e.g., water vs. organic solvent), while the 30°C boiling point difference also allows simple distillation, but solubility makes extraction more specific.
