What process would best separate a solution of liquid water and liquid rubbing alcohol, and why?

A. Centrifugation, because water and alcohol have differences in solubility

B. Chromatography, because these liquids have different particle sizes

C. Distillation, because these liquids evaporate at different temperatures

D. Filtration, because water will pass through the filter but alcohol will not

The answer will be C, the waster will evaporate but the alcohol will stay.

Answer : The correct option is, (C) Distillation, because these liquids evaporate at different temperatures.

Explanation:

Centrifugation : It is a separation process in which the solid substance or particles settle down in a solid-liquid mixture by the action of centrifugal force.

Chromatography : It is a separation process in which the liquid or gas is separated into components at different rate.

Distillation : It is a separation process in which the mixture of liquid separated or evaporated at different temperatures.

Filtration : It is a mechanical separation process in which the solid is separated from the liquid through the filter paper.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) Distillation, because these liquids evaporate at different temperatures.
