In a different method of obtaining nickel, the process produces a mixture of the liquids nickel tetracarbonyl and iron pentacarbronyl.
The boiling point of nickel tetracarbonyl is 43 degrees celcuis
the boiling point of iron pentacarbonyl is 103 degrees celcuis
these two liquids mix together completely.
Describe the process used to separate these two liquids.
