Define azeotropes with one example of each type.
The binary mixtures of solutions that have the same composition in liquid and vapor phase having constant boiling points throughout the distillation are known as azeotropes. Minimum Boiling Azeotropes – Mixture of water and ethanol (solutions showing positive deviation from Raoult’s law). Maximum Boiling Azeotropes – Mixture of water and HCl (solutions showing negative deviation from Raoult’s law).
