Section B

An experiment was conducted to separate the mixtures as shown in the figure above. The following steps were carried out: Step 1 : 50 ml of water was added to 25 ml of oil in beaker X. Step 2 : 50 ml of water was added to 25 ml of methanol in beaker Y Step 3 : Each mixture was poured into a separating funnel in order to separate the constituents. One mixture was successfully separated whereas the other was not. Step 4 : The remaining mixture was poured into a fractional distillation apparatus in order to separate the constituents. (a) Describe the appearance of the mixture in (i) beaker X (ii) beaker Y Name the variable that is (i) kept constant (ii) manipulated The mixture in which beaker was separated: (i) by a separating funnel? (ii) by fractional distillation? During fractional distillation, what is the temperature when the water is distilled out?
