Question

If the boiling point difference between the two liquids is not much, the ............ method is used to separate them (A) Simple distillation (B) Distillation under reduced pressure (C) Steam distillation (D) Fractional distillation

When difference in boiling points between the two liquids is not much, differential extraction is the most suitable method to separate them. The liquid with lower density floats over the liquid having higher density, thus can be easily separated.
