The mixture that forms maximum boiling azeotrope is
Options
- AWater and Nitric Acid
- BEthanol and Water
- CAcetone and Carbon disulphide
- DHeptane and Octane
Correct answer
A. Water and Nitric Acid
Step-by-step solution
The solutions that show large negative deviation from Raoult’s law form maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. Nitric acid and water is an example of this class of azeotrope. This azeotrope has the approximate composition, 68 % nitric acid and 32 % water by mass, with a boiling point of 393 . 5 K .
