By mistake, an alcohol (Boiling point 97°C) was mixed with a hydrocarbon (boling point68°C ).
Suggest a suitable method to separate the two compounds. Explain the reason for your choice.

Hint: application of simple distillation 

Explanation:

step 1: A method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture is called simple distillation.

step 2: The difference in the boiling point of the two liquids is more than 20°C. Hence, simple distillation can be used and since at the boiling point of low boiling liquid, the vapors would consist
