Assertion (A) : A simple distillation can be used to separate a mixture of propanol and propanone.
Reason (R) : Two liquids with a difference of more than 20°C in their boiling pints can be separated by simple distillations.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1 Answer
-
Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:Simple distillation can be applied for the separation of two liquids has boiling point difference greater than 20°C.
Boiling point of propanol > boiling point of propane (due to H-bonding effect)
