What is azeotropic solution ? Give an example of maximum boiling azeotrope and minimum boiling azeotrope.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A liquid mixture which boils at a constant temperature without any change in its composition is called an azeotropic solution or azeotrope.
Maximum boiling azeotrope : Mixture of 80% `H_2 O & 20% `HCI (b.p. = `108^@ C`)
Minimum boiling azeotrope : Mixture of 94.5% `C_2 H_5 OH & 4.5% H_2O ` (b.p. = `78.5&^@ C)`

    The solution which boil at constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess same composition in liquid as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azetropes cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The boiling point of an azeotrope is never equal to the boiling points of any of the components of the azeotrope. Answer the following question: The azeotropic solutions of two miscible liquids
