Flash distillation is suitable for the separation of components_________________?

Correct answer: C. Having very wide boiling points

  • A. Having very close boiling points
  • B. Which form maximum boiling azeotrope
  • C. Having very wide boiling points
  • D. Which form minimum boiling azeotrope

Explanation

Flash distillation gives only limited separation in a single equilibrium stage, so it is most useful when the components have widely different volatilities and boiling points. Close-boiling mixtures and azeotropes require more specialised methods.
