An azeotropic solution of two liquids has a boiling point higher than either of the two when it

Options

A. is saturated
B. shows no deviation from Raoult's law
C. shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law
D. shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law

Answer

3

Explanation

The solutions that show large negative deviation from Raoult's law form maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. On the other hand, the solutions which show a large position deviation from Raoult's law form minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition.
