Nitroethane in DMSO - distill separation?
DMSO is tricky one since pretty much every solvent is miscible with it. If we have nitroethane solved in DMSO, is it possible to separate it by means
of distillation, or is solvent separation required? I read that DMSO forms no azeotropes (at least in level that matters in ordinary chemistry) so as
I understand it should be pretty straightforward?

1) Please post this sort of question in Beginnings or The Short Questions thread in the future.
2) You've answered your own question already. Solvent seperation from DMSO is hard since DMSO dissolves most other solvents.
