1. Question
Which process would be used to separate two miscible liquids?
CorrectLiquids that are able to mix in all proportions are said to be miscible, like mixing vinegar and water. Miscible liquids form homogeneous mixtures that can only be separated by exploiting the differing chemical properties of the two liquids. Filtering or straining the homogeneous mixture would not help to separate the two liquids. Decantation is the process to remove the top layer of liquid after the precipitate has settled at the bottom. Decantation would not work as a precipitate is not formed since the two liquids are miscible. The only answer option that is appropriate is distillation, [B], since the two liquids could be boiled to separate them.
