(N/A) The fractional crystallisation method is used to separate two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent.
$1$. Both compounds are dissolved in a solvent to form a hot saturated solution.
$2$. Upon cooling,the compound which is less soluble crystallises first.
$3$. These crystals are separated by filtration.
$4$. The remaining solution (mother liquor) contains the more soluble compound.
$5$. This solution is concentrated by heating and then cooled to induce crystallisation of the more soluble compound,which is then separated by filtration.

You have a mixture of three liquids $A$,$B$,and $C$. There is a large difference in the boiling points of $A$ and the rest of the two liquids,i.e.,$B$ and $C$. The boiling points of liquids $B$ and $C$ are quite close. Liquid $A$ boils at a higher temperature than $B$ and $C$,and the boiling point of $B$ is lower than that of $C$. How will you separate the components of the mixture?
