QUESTION
If you were provided with a mixture containing 2-propanol and 2-methylfuran, which distillation technique should be used to separate the components? Refer to the experiment information in the lab manual to answer this question. distillation technique: fractional
Which of the following statements are correct regarding separating a mixture containing ethanol and 2-methyfuran? Refer to the experiment information in the lab manual to answer this question. Fractional distillation should be used to separate these compounds If pure, one of the compounds will result in an IR spectrum showing significant signals at 3105, 2942, 1619, $1198 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ These compounds are easily distinguishable by IR spectroscopy It is difficult to distinguish these compounds by IR spectroscopy If pure, one of the compounds will result in an IR spectrum showing significant signals at 3397, 2931, 2254, $1738 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ Simple distillation should be used to separate these compounds
