An azeotropic solution of two liquid has boiling point lower than either of them when it

A

Shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law

B

Shows no deviation from Raoult's law

C

Shows positive deviation from Raoult's law

D

Is saturated

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When the solution shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law, there is an intermediate composition for which the vapour pressure of the solution is maximum, and hence boiling point is minimum.
