A scientist is working in a lab and accidentally combines two liquids that quickly form a solution. Which process could be used to separate the two liquids?
1 answer
One process that could be used to separate the two liquids is distillation. Distillation is a process that utilizes the difference in boiling points of the two liquids to separate them. The mixture is heated, and the liquid with the lower boiling point vaporizes first. The vapor is then condensed back into a liquid, which can be collected separately from the remaining liquid.
