    Ether and benzene can be separated by

    A)  filtration             

    B)  distillation

    C)  crystallization   

    D)                       sublimation

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Simple distillation can be used for the separation and purification of a mixture of two or more miscible organic liquids which are sufficiently stable at their boiling points and their boiling points differ by\[30-50\,\,K\]. The more volatile liquid distils over first while the less volatile liquid distils over afterwards. For example, mixture of ether \[(b.p.308\,\,K)\] and benzene \[(b.p.353\,\,K)\] can be separated by simple distillation.
