Question
Which statement best describes the results of attempted separation by fractional distillation of the two isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene?
A.
The two isomers can be separated by fractional distillation, with isomer 1 boiling at the lower temperature.
B.✓ Correct
The two isomers can be separated by fractional distillation, with isomer 2 boiling at the lower temperature.
C.
The two isomers cannot be separated by fractional distillation because both isomers have the same boiling point.
D.
The two isomers cannot be separated by fractional distillation because they interconvert rapidly at the temperatures at which they distill.
