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.

    Assertion. Azeotropic mixtures are fomed only by non-ideal solutions and they may have boiling points either greater than or less than both the components. Reason. The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of liquid phase of the azeotropic mixture.

    Two liquids (A) and (B) can be separated by the method of fractional distillation. The boiling point of liquid (A) is less than boiling point of liquid (B). Which of the liquids do you expect to come out first in the distillate ? Explain.
