Question

which method would be best for separating the components of a mixture that is made from two different liquids?
○ distillation
○ evaporation
○ filtration
○ sorting

Explanation:

• Distillation separates liquids with different boiling points by heating the mixture to vaporize the more volatile liquid, then condensing it.
• Evaporation is used to separate a solid from a liquid (e.g., salt from water) by turning the liquid into vapor, not for two liquids.
• Filtration separates solids from liquids or gases using a filter, so it's not for two liquids.
• Sorting is for separating solids based on physical properties like size/color, not for liquids.

Answer:

A. distillation
