What do you understand by azeotropic mixture Define minimum azeotropic mixture and give an example.
✓
Answer
Azeotropic Mixture: It is a liquid mixture that boils at a constant temperature and has the same composition in both the liquid and vapor phases. It cannot be separated by simple distillation.
Minimum Boiling Azeotrope: A mixture that shows a large positive deviation from Raoult's Law. Its boiling point is lower than that of either of its components.
→ Example: 95% Ethanol + 5% Water (by volume).
