Question

Acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate have the same boiling point: 77.2ºC. In one to two sentences, explain what outcome you would expect if a mixture of these two substances were distilled (SHORT ANSWER)

Answer 1

Acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate will be collected together since they both have the same boiling point.

The method of distillation highly depends on the difference between the boiling points of the Acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate.

Since they have the same boiling point, the two substances turn into vapor at the same temperature and are collected simultaneously.

Hence separation is not achieved by distillation.
