based on the order the substances come out of the distillation, which substance has the lowest boiling point?
the water
the vanilla ester
the syrup remaining in the flask
the cherry ester
In distillation, substances with lower boiling points vaporize and condense (come out of the distillation apparatus) first. The substance that exits first has the lowest boiling point among the options. Esters typically have lower boiling points than water, and syrups (which are aqueous solutions with dissolved solutes) have higher boiling points than pure water. Cherry esters have a lower boiling point than vanilla esters, water, and the syrup.
