While diluting a solution of salt in water, a student by mistake added acetone (boiling point 56°C).What technique can be employed to get back the acetone? Justify your choice.

Answer:

                                                        Acetone can be obtained back by simple distillation of the mixture because the difference in the boiling points of the two liquids is more than 25°C.                    [Note Boiling point of acetone = 56°C Boiling point of water = 100°C]
