Verified answer
Explanation:
assertion is correct but reason is wrong
A mixture of acetone and methanol both are polar therefore they are miscible and can interact with each other by H-bonding.
The boiling point of Methanol is 64.7°C and boiling point of Acetone is 56°C.
So, it is very easy to separate them by fractional distillation.
Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
