Solutions showing large **positive deviation** from Raoult's law form which type of azeotrope?
AAlways form ideal mixtures
BCannot form an azeotrope
CMinimum boiling azeotrope
DMaximum boiling azeotrope
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Minimum boiling azeotrope
Large positive deviation → vapour pressure higher than predicted → **lower boiling point at azeotropic composition → minimum boiling azeotrope** (e.g., ethanol–water at 95% ethanol). Large negative deviation → maximum boiling azeotrope (e.g., HNO₃–water).
