The melting points of canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, and peanut oil are 10° C, -11° C, -17° C, and -2° C, If you cool a mixture of these oils to 5°C, which one can you separate easily?
a. corn oil
b. canola oil
c. peanut oil
d. sunflower oil
When the mixture of these oils is cooled to 5 °C only the Canola oil will solidify because it has a melting point of 10 °C and exists in solid state below 10 °C (Freezing Point). Therefore, it can easily be separated from remaining mixture which is present in liquid state.
