Which of the following azeotropes is not correctly matched ?

A

`HNO_3` (68%) +`H_2O`(32%) ,Maximum boiling azeotrope , boiling point =393.5 K

B

`H_2O`(43%) + HI(57%) : Minimum boiling azeotrope , boiling point =290 K

C

`C_2H_5OH` (95.5%) + `H_2O` (4.5%) : Minimum boiling azeotrope , boiling point = 351.15 K

D

Chloroform (93.2%) +`C_2H_5OH`(6.8%) : Minimum boiling azeotrope, boiling point =332.3 K

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following azeotropes is not correctly matched, we need to analyze the given options based on the principles of Raoult's law and the behavior of solutions. ### Step 1: Understand Azeotropes Azeotropes are mixtures of two or more liquids that have a constant boiling point and composition throughout the distillation process. They can be classified into two types: - **Maximum boiling azeotropes**: Formed when the solution shows negative deviation from Raoult's law. - **Minimum boiling azeotropes**: Formed when the solution shows positive deviation from Raoult's law. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option 1. **HNO3 + Water**: - HNO3 forms hydrogen bonds with water, leading to a negative deviation from Raoult's law. - Therefore, it forms a maximum boiling azeotrope with a boiling point of 393.5 K. - **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched. 2. **H2O + HI**: - Water and HI also form hydrogen bonds, indicating a negative deviation from Raoult's law. - Hence, it should form a maximum boiling azeotrope, but the option states it forms a minimum boiling azeotrope. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrectly matched. 3. **Ethanol + Water**: - Ethanol and water show a positive deviation from Raoult's law due to disruption of hydrogen bonds when mixed. - Thus, they form a minimum boiling azeotrope with a boiling point of 351.15 K. - **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched. 4. **Chloroform + Ethanol**: - Chloroform and ethanol also show a positive deviation from Raoult's law. - They form a minimum boiling azeotrope. - **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched. ### Step 3: Final Conclusion From the analysis, the only incorrect match is **H2O + HI**, which is stated to form a minimum boiling azeotrope when it actually forms a maximum boiling azeotrope. ### Answer: The azeotrope that is not correctly matched is **H2O + HI**. ---
