PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! The boiling point of water is 100ºC. The boiling point of acetone is 56ºC. Which statement about distilling a mixture of acetone and water is correct?\

Question

A. Water will vaporize from the mixture before acetone.

B. Water is collected as it leaves the mixture.

C. Acetone remains in the original container.

D) Acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water

Answer 1

The correct statement about distilling a mixture of acetone and water is:

D) Acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water.

This is because acetone has a lower boiling point (56ºC) compared to water (100ºC). During the distillation process, acetone will vaporize first as it reaches its boiling point before water does.
