Question
which of these mixtures would best separate using distillation? solid sugar and salt honey and tea sand and gravel powdered sugar and flour
Distillation separates components by differences in boiling points, ideal for liquid mixtures where one component can be vaporized and condensed. Honey and tea is a liquid mixture: water (from tea) has a much lower boiling point than the dissolved sugars in honey, so distillation can vaporize the water to separate it from the honey-sugar mixture. The other options are solid-solid mixtures, which distillation cannot effectively separate.
