Question
water and alcohol are two liquids that mix completely but can be separated by distillation. what property allows this separation?
density color
boiling point melting point
Distillation separates mixtures by heating to vaporize a component and then condensing it. Water (boiling point ~100°C) and alcohol (e.g., ethanol ~78.4°C) have different boiling points. Density relates to mass/volume, color is visual, and melting point is for solids turning liquid—none relate to distillation of liquids. So boiling point is the property.
