Q1:

McCabe-Thiele method of binary distillation does not assume that the

A sensible heat changes are negligible compared with latent heat changes.

B molar latent heats of all components are equal.

C heat of mixing is negligible.

D none of these

ANS:D - none of these

The McCabe-Thiele method of binary distillation assumes that the molar latent heats of all components are equal. This assumption simplifies the calculation process by treating the distillation process as if it were occurring with a single component. Therefore, the correct statement is: "molar latent heats of all components are equal."
