Question
Chapter 5, Problem 11Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the initial formation of cloudy drops of distillate in the distillation of cyclohexane-toluene mixture should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The process to separate the component from a liquid mixture by boiling of selective liquid followed by condensation of the mixture is called distillation. The distillation depends upon the boiling point difference of the components. The distillation is used in various industries to get the pure component.

- In which option is the order showing whether the questions given below are true or false? () If the impurities are volatile, they can be separated according to the boiling point differences using the "Fractional Distillation" method. () If the liquid to be purified has a high boiling point, it should be done under low pressure so that the process can be carried out in a short time and does not decompose with high temperature. () Water vapor distillation is a technique used in the purification or separation of resinous substances that degrade at high temperatures. () In the crystallization process, the solubility of the substance to be purified in hot solvent should be very high, but it should not dissolve in cold and impurities should be at least moderately soluble in cold solvent.
