If two liquids A and B form minimum boiling azeotrope at
some specific composition then
(a) A — B interactions are stronger than those between
A — A or B — B
(b) vapour pressure of solution increases because more
number of molecules of liquids A and B can escape
from the solution
(c) vapour pressure of solution decreases because less
number of molecules of only one of the liquids escape
from the solution
(d) A — B interactions are weaker than those between
A — A or B — B

A — B interactions are weaker than those between
A — A or B — B.
Explanation:
- Azeotropic solutions are defined as those solutions which have a particular boiling point, different from the boiling points of both the individual components.
- These solutions, because of having same boiling point, can't be separated by means of distillation or fractional distillation.
- The azeotropes are of two types - Maximum boiling azeotropes and minimum boiling azeotropes.
- The minimum boiling azeotropes have the azeotropic boiling point below the individual boiling points of both the liquids.
- This occurs because the individual boiling points of these liquids are dependent on their molecular interactions.
- As they are mixed in a solution, there are interaction between the two liquids.
- If the A - B interaction is less stronger than individual interactions, then it will be more likely to blow away from the container, hence having less boiling point than individual liquids.
- So they will form minimum boiling azeotropes.
