Equal amounts of ethanol and water are mixed at room temperature and at 101.3 kPa. Which process is used to separate ethanol from the mixture?

A. distillation
B. reduction
C. filtration
D. ionization

Asked by Schrieber62

Answer (3)

The answer is (1) distillation. Because the ethanol and water will mix well to form a solution. And the boiling point of ethanol and water are different. Then we can use distillation to separate them.

The process used to separate ethanol from a mixture of ethanol and water is distillation, which takes advantage of the different boiling points of the two substances. Ethanol evaporates at a lower temperature than water, allowing it to be collected as a vapor and then condensed back into liquid form. Thus, the correct answer is option A: distillation.
