An organic liquid product (boiling point 118∘C118^\circ\text{C}118∘C) is prepared by a reaction in an aqueous mixture. To obtain a pure, dry sample of this organic liquid, three purification processes are carried out: distillation, drying with an anhydrous salt, and separating funnel separation.
Which of the following represents the correct sequence in which these three processes must be carried out?
distillation →\rightarrow→ separating funnel separation →\rightarrow→ drying with an anhydrous salt
drying with an anhydrous salt →\rightarrow→ separating funnel separation →\rightarrow→ distillation
separating funnel separation →\rightarrow→ drying with an anhydrous salt →\rightarrow→ distillation
separating funnel separation →\rightarrow→ distillation →\rightarrow→ drying with an anhydrous salt
