Maximum vs Minimum Boiling Azeotropes — Easy Trick to Remember! ⚗️
❓ Question Match List - I with List - II List - I List - II (A) Solution of chloroform and acetone (I) Minimum boiling azeotrope (B) Solution of ethanol and water (II) Dimerizes (C) Solution of benzene and toluene (III) Maximum boiling azeotrope (D) Solution of acetic acid in benzene (IV) ΔVₘᵢₓ = 0 🖼️ Question Image ✍️ Short Solution Let’s match each solution with its correct behavior using the concept of ideal and non-ideal liquid mixtures . 🔹 Step 1 — Recall: Types of Solutions Based on Raoult’s Law Ideal Solutions: Obey Raoult’s Law completely. No enthalpy or volume change on mixing. Example: Benzene + Toluene. ⇒ ΔHₘᵢₓ = 0, ΔVₘᵢₓ = 0. Non-Ideal Solutions: Deviate from Raoult’s Law due to differences in molecular forces. Can show positive or negative deviation. 🔹 Step 2 — Identify the Type of Deviation Type Interaction Strength Vapor Pressure Boiling Point Example Positive Deviation A–B < A–A or B–B Higher than expected Minimu...
