Acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate have the same boiling point: 77.2ºC. In one to two sentences, explain what outcome you would expect if a mixture of these two substances were distilled.
If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate were distilled, both substances would evaporate at the same temperature, making it difficult to separate the two compounds by distillation based solely on their boiling points.
If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate with the same boiling point of 77.2ºC is distilled, both substances are likely to evaporate together and condense into separate fractions during the distillation process.
um what
if both the liquid have same boiling point then it's vapour phase will contain 50percent of each liquid and we will again get the same mixture.
you can separate it by using other techniques like chromatography, osmosis etc.
