Question

A mixture of chloroform (bp 60°C) and aniline (bp 189°C) can be separated by which distillation method?
Options
A Fractional distillation
B Simple distillation
Correct Answer
C Steam distillation
D Vacuum distillation
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Since the boiling points differ by more than 100°C (60°C vs 189°C), simple distillation is sufficient to separate chloroform (lower bp) from aniline (higher bp).

Hint

Large boiling point difference.
