Azeotropic mixture

1. The azeotropic mixture of water and

boils at . When this
mixture is distilled it is possible to obtain [IIT 1981]
(a) Pure
(b) Pure water
(c) Pure water as well as pure
(d) Neither nor in their pure states
SOLUTION.
Azeotropic mixture is constant boiling mixture, it is not
possible to separate the components of azeotropic mixture
by boiling.

2. An azeotropic solution of two liquids has boiling point lower

than either when it [NCERT 1978; IIT 1981]
(a) Shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law
(b) Shows no deviation from Raoult's law
(c) Shows positive deviation from Raoult's law
(d) Is saturated
SOLUTION.

3. A liquid mixture boils without changing constituent is called

[DPMT 1982; CPMT 1987]
(a) Stable structure complex
(b) Binary liquid mixture
(c) Zeotropic liquid mixture
(d) Azeotropic liquid mixture
SOLUTION.
Azeotropic mixture is a mixture of two liquids which boils
at on particular temperature like a pure liquid and distils
over in the same composition.

4. Azeotropic mixture are [CPMT 1982]

(a) Constant temperature boiling mixtures
(b) Those which boils at different temperatures
(c) Mixture of two solids
(d) None of the above
SOLUTION.

5. A mixture of two completely miscible non-ideal liquids which

distil as such without change in its composition at a constant
temperature as though it were a pure liquid. This mixture is
known as [CBSE PMT 1990]
(a) Binary liquid mixture (b) Azeotropic mixture
(c) Eutectic mixture (d) Ideal mixture
SOLUTION.
