Problem

The boiling point of water and HCl are

100^\circ\text{C}

and

86^\circ\text{C}

respectively. An azeotropic mixture boils at about

120^\circ\text{C}

. Fractional distillation of this solution will give : a. Pure HCl first at

86^\circ\text{C}

b. Pure

\text{H}_2\text{O}

then at

100^\circ\text{C}

c. A mixture of HCl and

\text{H}_2\text{O}

in the ratio

\frac{373}{359}

d. A mixture of HCl in the ratio in which they are present in mixture
