How will you separate a mixture containing kerosene and petrol (the difference in their boiling points is more than 25°C), which are miscible with each other?

• Take a mixture in a distillation flask.
• Fit it with a thermometer.
• Arrange the apparatus as shown in the figure.
• Heat the mixture slowly.
• Petrol vaporises first as it has a lower boiling point. It condenses in the condenser and is collected from the condenser outlet.
•  Kerosene is left behind in the distillation flask.
