What is the main concern with trying to distill azeotropic mixtures? Options:   Specialized equipment is required, making separation expensive   The components become explosive at high temperature, making separation unsafe   The mixture will distill at a single temperature with a constant composition, making separation impossible   There are no major concerns with distilling azeotropic mixtures   The boiling points of the components are too similar, making separation impractical
