For a binary mixture with low relative volatility________________?
Correct answer: D. An azeotrope may be formed during distillation
- A. Use steam distillation
- B. Use molecular distillation
- C. Use high pressure distillation
- D. An azeotrope may be formed during distillation
Explanation
A low relative volatility means the components have similar vapour pressures and are difficult to separate by ordinary distillation; such systems may also exhibit an azeotrope. Steam or molecular distillation requires additional properties not stated here.
