Components of a binarey mixture of two liquids A and B were being separted by distillation. After some time separation of components stopped and composition of vapour phase vecame same as that of liquid phase. Both the components stated coming in the distillate. Explain why this happened ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since both the components are coming in the distillate and composition of liquid and vapour phase become same, this shows that liquids have formed azeotropic mixture. Therefore, these components cannot be separated at this stage by distillation.
