represents the distillation of mixture of liquid `A` and liquid `B` which gives both of pure liquid `A` and `B` . Represents the azeotropic mixture of `HNO_(3)` and `H_(2)O` which distillation gives an azeotropic mixture and either of pure liquid. We cannot separate both the pure liquid, i.e., `H_(2)O` and `HNO_(3)`.
a solution of `50%` of `A` and `50%` of `B` on distillation results into

Separation of an azeotropic mixture and pure A .
Separation of an azeotropic mixture and pure B .
Separation of both pure A and pure B .
None of these

Options

A. Separation of an azeotropic mixture and pure `A`.
B. Separation of an azeotropic mixture and pure `B`.
C. Separation of both pure `A` and pure `B`.
D. None of these

Answer

C

Explanation

`A` and `B` do not form any azeotropic mixture, therefore they can be easily separable.
