alleryThe components of an azeotrope cannot be separated by:
ASimple sedimentation
BMagnetic separation
COrdinary filtration
DFractional distillation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Fractional distillation
1. Distillation works by the vapour being richer in one component.
2. In an azeotrope the vapour matches the liquid exactly.
3. So fractional distillation cannot separate them.
