Acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate have the same boiling point: 77.2°C. In one to two sentences, explain what outcome you would expect if a mixture of these two substances were distilled.

plsss hurry!

Acrylonitrile  and ethyl acetate can not be separated by simple distillation since they have the same boiling point.

Distillation is a separation technique in chemistry which can be applied only when the substances to be separated have different boiling points. The method relies on the difference between the boiling points of the components of a mixture in order to achieve separation.

Whereby Acrylonitrile and ethyl acetate have the same boiling point: 77.2°C, separation by distillation becomes impossible because the two substances are collected together.
