Answer:
(ii) Ethane and Heptadecane
Explanation:
The separation of all the species listed in the answer options for the question depends on the molar mass of each specie.
Ethane is a low molecular mass gas. It exists in the gaseous state at room temperature. However, heptadecane appears as a liquid because it has a greater relative molecular mass.
It is very easily to distinguish between the gas, ethane and the liquid heptadecane which is a high molecular mass alkane, hence the answer.
