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)
water will vaporize from the mixture before acetone
water is collected as it leaves the mixture
acetone remains in the original container
acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water

Explanation:

In distillation, the component with the lower boiling - point vaporizes first. Acetone has a boiling point of 56°C and water has a boiling point of 100°C. So acetone will vaporize before water.

Answer:

Acetone will vaporize from the mixture before water.
