Which of the following technique is used to separate chloroform and aniline?

  • A.Fractional distillation
  • B.Distillation under reduced pressure
  • C.Steam distillation
  • D.Continuous extraction
  • E.Distillation

Answer: E

The technique is Distillation.

Simple distillation separates liquids whose boiling points differ widely. Chloroform boils at about 334 K and aniline at about 457 K, so chloroform distils over first and aniline stays behind. This is the standard textbook example.

Fractional distillation is needed only for close boiling points; distillation under reduced pressure is for liquids that decompose near their boiling point; steam distillation is for steam-volatile substances immiscible with water; continuous extraction is a solvent method, not distillation.
