alleryA large positive deviation produces an azeotrope that is:
AMinimum boiling
BMaximum boiling
CNon-boiling
DFully ideal
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Minimum boiling
1. A positive deviation means a raised vapour pressure.
2. A raised vapour pressure means a lowered boiling point.
3. So the azeotrope formed is a minimum boiling one.
