As part of a chemistry experiment, Austin ends up with a beaker containing a mixture of two liquids, which he knows have boiling points of 77 °C and 103 °C. Austin is already familiar with___________ as a good method for separating liquids, so he asks his chemistry teacher where to find the heating mantle and condensing tube he'll need to___________ the mixture.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distillation, heat

Explanation:

Here in this question, we simply want to look at the best options that could fit in the gaps.

We have a mixture of liquids having boiling points which is far from each other.

Whenever we have a mixture of liquids with boiling points far away from each other, the best technique to use in separating them is to use distillation. That is why we have that as the best fit for the first missing gap.

Now, to get the liquids to separate from each other, we shall be needing the heating mantle for the application of heat. This ensures that the mixture is vaporized. After vaporization, the condensing tube will help to condense the vapor of each of the liquids once we reach the boiling point of either of the two.

Kindly note that the liquid with the lower temperature will evaporate first and will be first obtained. In fact after reaching a little above the boiling point of the lower boiling liquid, we can be sure that what we have left in the mixture pot is the second other liquid with the higher boiling point.
