Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Aniline is separated from aniline-water mixture using
A
Fractional distillation
B
Steam distillation
C
Vacuum distillation
D
Molecular distillation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aniline is an aromatic compound, in which an amine group is present on the benzene ring, and it is a liquid that is not miscible in water. So, we can separate the mixture of aniline and water by steam distillation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Statement 1: A mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by simple distillation. Statement 2: When separating aniline from a mixture of aniline and water by steam distillation aniline boils below its boing point. No worries!

Detailed explanation-3: -In steam distillation, if one of the substances is water and the other, a water insoluble substance (like aniline) then the mixture will boil close to but below 373 K.

Detailed explanation-4: -The application of steam distillation can be found in the production of consumer food products and petroleum industries. They are used in the separation of fatty acids from mixtures.
