Practice question
Question
Which separation technique is most suitable for a mixture of two liquids with boiling points 65°C and 95°C, where one is water-soluble and the other is not?
Explanation
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.
