Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf Distillation}[/tex]

Explanation:

  • State of benzene at RTP = liquid
  • State of chloroform at RTP = liquid
  • Boiling point of benzene = 80.1 °C
  • Boiling point of chloroform = 61.2 °C

Since, both of the chemicals are liquids, we can separate it by the process of distillation.

Distillation:

  • is the process in which we separate two liquids on the basis of their difference in boiling points.

How it works:

Since chloroform has less boiling point, it will evaporate and collected first and benzene will follow it after sometime.

- Apparatus of distillation is in the attached file.
