The correct statement about distilling a mixture of acetone and water is:
**Acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water.**
This is because acetone has a lower boiling point (56 degrees Celsius) compared to water (100 degrees Celsius), so acetone will evaporate first during the distillation process.
**Acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water.**
