MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Treatment of methane with Cl2 at 450 °C produces a mixture of chlorinated products including CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3, and CCl4. Distillation is an effective technique for separating the products because:

     

    A

    the products are all miscible with each other

    B

    the boiling points of the products are distinct and sufficiently different from each other to be separated

    C

    the products are all similar in size and can be isolated together

    D

    the products all boil at or below room temperature
