A researcher at a chemical company was asked to prepare several binary mixtures of liquids for a distillation demo but he forgot to label the composition. He then took 10 mL of the mixture he prepared and ran a fractional distillation on the mixture. Given below is the data he obtained from the distillation. Plot the data as volume (X) vs. Temperature (Y) and determine the composition and identity of the two liquids in the mixture. Explain why he did not need to collect more than 5 mL of distillate. The following liquids are the possible liquids used for making the mixture: water, aetone, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, etheyl acetate, methanol and ethanol. Volume (mL) Temperature (C °) 0.5 75.0 1.0 75.5 1.5 76.0 2.0 77.0 2.5 77.0 3.0 77.0 3.5 98.5 4.0 99.5 4.5 99.5 5.0 99.5
