An azeotropic solution of two liquids has boiling point lower than either of them when it
A.
shows 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
Answer :
shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law
Solution :
Lower the $$B.$$ $$pt.,$$ higher will be the $$V.P.$$ The $$V.P.$$ of the mixture is greater than either of the two liquids.
[NOTE : In case of positive deviation from Roult's law the partial vapour pressure of each liquid and total vapour pressure of solution will be greater as compared to initial solution]
