Question

Which of the hydrogen halides will
give maximum boiling azeotropes
with water
HF, HCl, HBr, HI
HCI, HBr, HI
HF, HCI, HB
HCl, HBr​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution of HNO3 and H2O will form maximum boiling point azeotrope because they have a composition of having maximum boiling point. Maximum boiling azeotropes show negative deviation from Raoult's law.

Answer 2

Answer:

This attraction is stronger than London dispersion forces hence the presence of a hydrogen bond significantly raises the boiling point of the compound. Hence, HF has the highest boiling point amongst the four compounds. What is the strength of the hydrohalic acids from weakest to strongest (HF, HCl, HBr, HAt)?
