Different types of distillation, for example, simple distillation, fractional distillation and steam distillation, are used to separate mixtures. The physical properties of three compounds, W, X and Y are given in Table 6.

State which type of distillation is BEST suited for separating EACH compound from a mixture of the compound in water.
