Answer to Question #120296 in General Chemistry for 250300183747

Question

1. Simple distillation can help in separating a mixture of propan-1-ol (boiling point 97°C) and propanone (boiling point 56°C). True/false
2. Two liquids (A) and (B) can be separated by the method of fractional distillation. The boiling point of liquid (A) is less than boiling point of liquid (B). Which of
the liquids do you expect to come out first in the distillate? Explain.
3. Describe briefly the method for the quantitative determination of S, N and halogens in an organic
compound.

Answer 1

1. False

2.The liquid with the lowest boiling point will come out first because it will be first to evaporate and will be collected as distillate.

3. Chromatography is the method for quantitative determination of S,N and halogens in an organic compound.
