The azeotropic mixture of water (`B.P. = 100^(@)C`) and HCl(`B.P. =86^(@)C`)boils at about `120^(@)C`. During fractional distillation of this mixture it is possible to obtain :
A. Pure HCl
B. Pure water
C. Pure water as well as pure HCl
D. Neither HCl nor `H_(2)O` in their pure states
A. Pure HCl
B. Pure water
C. Pure water as well as pure HCl
D. Neither HCl nor `H_(2)O` in their pure states
Correct Answer – D
Azetropic mixture is constant boiling mixture, it is not possible to separate the components of azeotropic mixture by boililng.
