Question

Identify the mixture of gasoline and motor oil and suggest a technique for separating their components. 1. homogeneous; decanting 2. heterogeneous; decanting 3. heterogeneous; distillation 4. homogeneous; distillation 5. homogeneous; dissolving followed by filtration and distillation

Answer 1

Answer:

4. homogeneous; distillation

Explanation:

Gasoline and motor oil are chemically similar. They are both mixtures of non polar hydrocarbons containing carbon and hydrogen atoms. However, motor oil is much more viscous Motor Oil. Hence we can say that the mixture of gasoline and motor oil are homogeneous and they can be separated by distillation.
