Question:

If two liquids $A$ and $B$ form minimum boiling azeotrope at some specific composition then ___________ .

Updated On: Apr 2, 2024
  • $A-B$ interactions are stronger than those between $A-A$ or $B-B$
  • vapour pressure of solution increases because more number of molecules of liquids $A$ and $B$ can escape from the solution
  • vapour pressure of solution decreases because less number of molecules of only one of the liquids escape from the solution
  • $A-B$ interactions are weaker than those between $A-A$ or $B-B$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The solutions which show a large positive deviation from Raoult?? law (i.e. $A-B$ interactions are weaker than those between $A-A$ or $B-B$) form minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition.

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
