Question

What is azeotrope? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids which displays the same level of concentration in the liquid and vapour phase. Simple distillation cannot alter their proportions. These mixtures can either have a lower boiling point or a higher boiling point of the components.

Answer 2

hey mate .....

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 mixture is boiled to produce a 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 first used in a publication by English chemists John Wade (1864–1912) and Richard William Merriman in 1911.
