Separation techniques like differential solvent extraction, column chromatography, and fractional distillation depend on the physical properties such as solubility, boiling points, and ionic nature of the compounds.
To match the items from Column I (mixtures of compounds) with appropriate separation techniques from Column II, we need to understand the nature of each mixture and the principle behind each separation technique.
Mixture A: H2O/CH2Cl2
This is a mixture of water and dichloromethane, which are immiscible liquids.
They can be separated using differential solvent extraction because this technique exploits the difference in solubility of compounds in two immiscible solvents.
Mixture B: (Image Mixture)
This image represents a typical scenario where compounds are separated based on different affinities towards stationary and mobile phases.
This technique is column chromatography which is used to separate compounds based on polarity or molecular size.
Mixture C: Kerosene/Naphthalene
This mixture includes a liquid (kerosene) and a solid (naphthalene) where fractional distillation can separate components based on boiling points. However, here it is more theoretical because naphthalene sublimates, and kerosene doesn't distill easily.
So, a more fitting technique in practical cases could be considered distillation or crystallization depending on the expected extraction's goal.
But here it is matched with fractional distillation.
Mixture D: C6H12O6/NaCl
This is a mixture of glucose and sodium chloride (table salt).
Crystallization is an appropriate method for separating a crystalline solid like sodium chloride from a solution.
Based on the above analysis, the correct matches are:
