A mixture of dichloromethane and aniline can be separated by

A mixture of dichloromethane and aniline can be separated by
  1. distillation
  2. sublimation
  3. crystallisation
  4. fractional distillation

Solution

The boiling point of dichloromethane is $394^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and aniline is $184.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Both exist in liquid state. Hence, to separate liquid components of a mixture having different boiling points, we use distillation.
