In Azeotropic mixture, the equilibrium vapour composition is____________________?
Correct answer: C. Same as liquid composition
- A. More than liquid composition
- B. Less than liquid composition
- C. Same as liquid composition
- D. Independent of pressure
Explanation
At an azeotropic composition, the vapour and liquid have the same composition, so ordinary distillation cannot further separate them. This equality is the defining feature of an azeotrope at a specified pressure.
