Simple and Fractional Distillation of water and acetone.
Click to see the full answer.How would you separate a mixture of acetone and water?
Fractional Distillation separates the mixture of water and acetone.Fraction Distillation is a process of heating a mixture of two liquids which have different boiling points.The liquid with less boiling point is left back.
Can acetone and water be separated?acetone and water are immiscible.They will be seperated by fractional distribution.
The acetone separates from the water because of the lower boiling point.When the temperature reaches 56 degree Celsius, the reading on the thermometer becomes constant.The boiling point of acetone is 56 degrees.
Some separation techniques are listed below.Distillation is the collection of a liquid from a solution.Evaporation can be used to separate a solid from a liquid.
