Which of the following statements about fractional distillation are true.? Select all that are True. A)The lower the HETP (height equivalent to a theoretical plate) of the fractionating(packed) column the more efficient it is at separation of components. B)The distillation process involves several concurrent vaporization-condensation cycles. C)Continual change in boiling temperature is observed as the distillation progresses. D)Can ideally separate mixtures with comparable volatilities small BP differences. E)For good separation by distillation the volume of liquid condensing back to the pot should be lower than the volume of liquid distilling off.
