A student performed simple distillation on a 40:60mixture of Methanol and water (% mol).
a. At what temperature will the mixture boil?
b. What is the composition of the liquid collected from simple distillation?

2. Another student performed a fractional distillation on the same mixture of 40:60 (%
mol) Methanol/water mixture and found the liquid collected to contain 4% mol of
water.
a. At what temperature did the mixture containing 4% mol of water boil?
b. How many theoretical plates did the fractionating column used in this experiment
have?
c. What would be the minimum number of theoretical plates required to achieve
complete separation of the 40:60 (% mol) methanol-water mixture?

clouds form

solid ice forms on leaves.

water droplets form on grass.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
