________ is used to separate the components of a mixture of two miscible liquids that boil without decomposition and have a substantial difference in their boiling points.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Distillation.

Fractional distillation is used for the separation of components of a mixture containing two miscible liquids that boil without decomposition and have a sufficient difference in their boiling points. This process exploits the differences in boiling points of the components to separate them based on their volatility.
