a. distillation
b. extraction
c. filtration
d. reflux
e. none of these
We’re being asked to determine which technique separates a mixture on the basis of their boiling points.
A mixture is made up of two or more substances and are not chemically combined.
▪ in this form, each component maintains its individual physical properties
▪ the substances in the mixture can be separated physically using different methods.
Let’s define each technique given:
A. Distillation
