Question

the boiling point of water is 100°c. the boiling point of acetone is 56°c. which statement about distilling a mixture of acetone and water is correct? (1 point) acetone remains in the original container. water will vaporize from the mixture before acetone. water is collected as it leaves the mixture. acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water.

Explanation:

Distillation separates components based on boiling - points. Acetone has a lower boiling - point (56°C) than water (100°C). So, acetone will vaporize first when heating the mixture.

Answer:

Acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water.
