In a distillation of a mixture of acetone (bp. 56°C and dichloromethane bp. 40°C), a fraction averaging 48°C was collected that never exhibited a plateau temperature.Show using temperature as an indicator of purity what the % of acetone is in this fraction.(Hint: this is similar to the question of refractive index in the last assignment)
