Detailed Solution

BP of H2O = 100oc

BP of HCl = 85oc

BP of (HCl+H2O) azeotrope = 108.5oc

It is a maximum boiling azeotrope

It is not possible to separate the components of an azeotrope

Because both the components boil at same temperature

An azeotrope is a constant boiling mix.

\therefore neither HCl nor H2O can be obtained in pure state by fractional distillation
