Pick out the wrong statement.
In solvent extraction, the distribution co-efficient should be as large as possible for solvent economy.
With increase in pressure, the solubility of gases in solvent increases at a fixed temperature.
Decrease in Murphree plate efficiency is an indication of entrainment in distillation coloumn.

Relative volatility varies with the concentration of component for an ideal solution. The relative volatity of a binary mixture may be defined as the ratio of vapor pressure of component 'A' to that of component 'B', when
only vapor phase follows Raoult's law.
only liquid phase obeys Dalton's law.
liquid phase obeys Dalton's law and vapor phase obeys Raoult's law.
Vapor phase obeys Dalton's law and liquid phase obeys Raoult's law.
