Two liquids A and B form type II non-ideal solution which shows a minimum in its temperature-molefraction plot (T-X diagram). Can the two liquids be completely separated by fractional distillation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two liquids cannot be completely separated since they form an azeotrope at some definite composition which boils at a constant temperature like pure liquids and the distillate has the same composition as that of liquid mixture.

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
