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.

Amit was asked by his teacher to separate a liquid mixture of acetone and ethyl alcohol. He set up a distillation apparatus and tried to distil the mixture. To his surprise, both the liquids got distilled. Teacher told Amit to repeat the experiment by using a fractionating column in the distillation flask. Amit followed the advice of the teacher and was able to separate the two liquids. (i) Why was Amit not successful in separating the liquid mixture earlier ? (ii) Why did teacher ask him to use the fractionating column ? (iii) Which liquid was distilled first ? (iv) As a student of chemistry, what value based information you have gathered ?
