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 distilled

1 answer

If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate, both having the same boiling point of 77.2°C, were distilled, one would expect a complex distillation outcome due to their azeotropic behavior, leading to difficulty in separating them effectively. Consequently, the distillate may contain a mixture of both substances rather than a pure component, depending on their relative concentrations and interactions during the distillation process.
