Which of the following is correct mixture of azeotrope?
Options
- AChlorobenzene + bromobenzene
- BC ₂ H ₅ Br + C ₂ H ₅ Cl
- CC ₆ H ₁₄+ C ₇ H ₁₆
- DCCl ₄+ CHCl ₃
Correct answer
D. CCl ₄+ CHCl ₃
Step-by-step solution
Azeotropes are mixtures of liquids that boil at a constant temperature and possess the same composition in liquid and vapor phases. They are formed by non-ideal solutions that show significant deviations from Raoult's Law. Chlorobenzene and bromobenzene form an ideal solution because they have similar structures and polarities, thus they do not form an azeotrope. Ethyl bromide and ethyl chloride form an ideal solution due to similar molecular sizes and intermolecular forces, thus they do not form an azeotrope. Hexa
