Method of separation:
Fractional distillation

water in

Condenser
 1. The boiling point of the mixture will not be achieved as the gas escaped

2. The pressure inside the setup may not be sufficient

Alcohol is highly flammable.

1. Hot water bath does not able to supply constant heat until a certain boiling point.

2. Alcohol C and D may have boiling point more than 100 degree celcius.

Topic: Periodic Table
