Detailed Solution

Alcohol and water mixtures can be separated using fractional distillation.
The liquids that can dissolve or mix together are miscible liquids and can be separated with the help of a process called fractional distillation. Fractional distillation involves the separation of two liquids based on the difference in their respective boiling points. An example of a mixture that can be separated using this method is that of alcohol and water. Naphthalene, common salt, Anthracene, and copper sulphate are separated using the sublimation process. Sulphur and carbon are separated using carbon disulphide.
