A MINIMUM-BOILING azeotrope arises from:
ANegative deviation from Raoult's law (HNO3-water type)
BPositive deviation from Raoult's law (ethanol-water type)
CIdeal solution behaviour (benzene-toluene type)
DTwo completely immiscible liquids (oil and water)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Positive deviation from Raoult's law (ethanol-water type)
POSITIVE deviation from Raoult: solute-solvent interactions weaker than pure-component → MORE vapour → higher vapour pressure → LOWER boiling point at certain composition. Forms minimum-boiling azeotrope. Classic: 95.6% ethanol + 4.4% water at 78.2°C.
