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

Both the components are appearing in the distillate and composition of liquid and vapour is same. This shows that liquids have formed azeotropic mixture and hence cannot be separated at this stage by distillation.

Two volatile and miscible liquids can be separated by fractional distillations into pure components under the condition

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.

A mixture of two immiscible liquids A and B , having vapour pressure in pure state obeys the following relationship if chi_(A) and chi_(B) are mole fractions of A and B in vapour phase over the solution

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

Compreshension-II In non-ideal solutions, at one of the intermediate compostions, the total vapour pressure is highest and the boiling point is lowest. At this point, the composition of the liquid and vapour phase is same. So, if liquid mixture vapouriese at this point and vapours are condensed, the condensate contains same compositon as present in original liquid mixture. it means at this point liquid behaves like a pure liquid and is called an Azeotropic mixture. A and B forms non-ideal solution showing positive deviation. Boiling point of pure A and B is 350 K and 380 K respectively. The solution will bpoil at (approximate)

A mixture of two miscible liquids A and B is distilled under equilibrium conditions at 1 atm pressure. The mole fraction of A in solution and vapour phase are 0.30 and 0.60 respectively. Assuming ideal behaviour of the solution and the vapour, calculate the ratio of the vapour pressure of pure A to that of pure B.

Draw a diagram of bubble plate type fractionating column. When do we requir such type of a column for separating two liquids. Explain the principle involved in the separation of components of a mixture of liquids by using fractionating column. What industrial applications does this process have ?

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
