A mixture of cyclohexane (b.p 81 °C) and toluene (b.p 110.8 °C) need to be separated and collected without jeopadizing the purity of each component. What is the best method to isolate and collect each component? A. gas chromatography, because they can be separated and collected easily due to their boiling points differences. B. simple distillation, because their boiling points are differerent from each other by approximately 30 °C C.fractional distillation, because their boiling points are close to one another D.TLC, because these two compounds can be separated easily using an organic solvent such as hexanes
