A 50:50 Mixture of Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂, 84 $\degree$ C) Are to Be Separated by Fractional Distillation

question 2

Essay

A 50:50 mixture of cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂, 84.16 g/mol) and toluene (C₆H₅CH₃, 92.14 $\degree$ C) are to be separated by fractional distillation.A plot of temperature versus volume of distillate shows two plateaus, one at 80.7 $\degree$ C and one at 110.6 $\degree$ C.What is the approximate boiling point of each liquid? Use intermolecular forces to justify your answer.
