Answer

(a) Principle involved: Based on the separation of mixture of two miscible liquids with different boiling points.

(b) Technique of separation: The mixture of two miscible liquids e.g., methyl alcohol and water having different boiling points is taken in the distillation flask and heated slowly till it boils. The component with the higher boiling point i.e., water remains behind in the distillation flask after condensation. The component with the lower boiling point i.e., methyl alcohol collects in the receiver after condensation in the Leibig's condenser.
