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.(1 point)
If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate were distilled, both substances would vaporize together and condense at their boiling point of 77.2ºC, resulting in an inseparable mixture.
If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate were distilled, both substances would vaporize and condense at a similar rate, making it difficult to separate them completely based solely on their boiling points.
If a mixture of acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate were distilled, we would expect a fractionation process to occur, where the substances with lower boiling points would vaporize and be collected first, followed by the substances with higher boiling points.
