A process controlled by Distributive law is__________________?

Correct answer: C. Solvent extraction

  • A. Crystallization
  • B. Sublimation
  • C. Solvent extraction
  • D. Filtration

Explanation

Solvent extraction is governed by the distribution law: at equilibrium, a solute distributes between two immiscible solvents in a constant concentration ratio at a fixed temperature. This difference in distribution allows the solute to be transferred preferentially into one solvent. Students may choose a because crystallization also separates substances, but it is not controlled by distribution between two immiscible phases.

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
