How will you separate a mixture containing kerosene and petrol (difference in their boilling point is more than `25^(@)C`), which are miscible with each other ?

Explanation

The mixture of two miscible liquids such as kerosene and petrol whose boiling points differ by more than `25^@ C` can be easily separated by the technique of simple distillation. At the boiling point of more volatile (low boiling) liquid of the mixture, the vapours almost exclusively consist of the more volatile liquid. Likewise at the boiling point of the less volatile (high boiling) liquid, vapours almost entirely consist of the less volatile liquid since the more volatile liquid has already distilled over.
