Which outcome occurs when a binary azeotropic mixture undergoes fractional distillation at constant pressure?

A)Constant overhead vapor composition attained
B)Complete separation of two components achieved
C)Continuous change in boiling temperature observed
D)Reversal in reboiler liquid flow registered

💡 Explanation

When an azeotropic mixture undergoes fractional distillation, the vapor and liquid compositions converge until reaching the azeotropic point because the relative volatility approaches unity, leading to a constant overhead vapor composition. Therefore constant overhead vapor composition is attained is correct, rather than complete separation, temperature change or flow reversal, which are not azeotropic behaviors.
