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.
