An azeotrope is a mixture that exhibits the same concentration in the vapor phase and the liquid phase. This is in contrast to ideal solutions with one component typically more volatile than the other; this is how we use distillation to separate materials

An azeotrope is a mixture of liquids that maintains its composition and boiling point during distillation. It is also known as an azeotropic mixture or constant boiling point mixture. Azeotropy occurs when a mixtureis boiled to produce vapor that has the same composition as the liquid. The term is derived by combining the prefix a meaning no and the Greek words for boiling and turning. The word was coined by John Wade and Richard William Merriman in 1911.
