In extraction, as the temperature increases, the area of heterogeneity (area covered by binodal curve)________________?
Correct answer: A. Decreases
- A. Decreases
- B. Increases
- C. Remains unchanged
- D. None of these
Explanation
For most liquid-liquid extraction systems, increasing temperature increases mutual solubility and shrinks the two-phase region enclosed by the binodal curve. Therefore, the area of heterogeneity decreases.
