Question

In distillation separation, breaking of azeotropes can be achieved

a. by changing system pressure

b. by adding an entrainer

c. by adding a solvent and using Liquid-Liquid extraction

d. by all of the above methods

Answer 1

c) by adding a solvent and using liq-liq extraction

Step-by-step explanation:

azeotrope is a liquid mixture of defined composition that boil a constant temperature and behaves as if it were formed by a single component.

when adding anhother compondent (solvent) , changes the molecular interaction and eliminates the azeotropes.

then in the liquid-liquid extraction, the component of the solution distributed in inmiscibles phases are separated.
