If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate, both with a boiling point of 77.2 °C, were distilled, we would expect to have a difficulty in separating them effectively via simple distillation because they would likely distill off together, resulting in a mixture of both substances in the distillate rather than a pure compound. Fractional distillation could improve separation by taking advantage of any slight differences in boiling points or by utilizing their differing volatilities.
acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate have the same boiling point 77.2 celsius in one to two sentances explain what outcome you would exoect if a mixture of these two substances were disstilled
