    Glycerol boils at \[{{290}^{o}}C\] with slight decomposition. Impure glycerin can be purified by  [CPMT 1983, 94]

    A)                 Steam distillation            

    B)                 Simple distillation

    C)                 Vacuum distillation         

    D)                 Extraction with a solvent

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               The liquids which decompose at its boiling point can be purified by vacuum distillation. Glycerol which decomposes at its boiling point (?563K) can be distilled without decomposition at 453K under 12mm Hg pressure.
