Components, having widely different boiling point in a binary mixture, can be separated using ________________ distillation?

Correct answer: D. Simple

  • A. Molecular
  • B. Extractive
  • C. Steam
  • D. Simple

Explanation

Simple distillation is suitable when the components have widely different boiling points, because the more volatile component vaporizes preferentially in a single-stage operation. Extractive and steam distillation are used when ordinary boiling-point separation is difficult or unsuitable.
