Question

Assertion : The solutions which show large positive deviations from Raoult’s law form maximum boiling azeotropes.
Reason : $95\%$ aqueous solution of ethanol is maximum boiling azeotrope.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The solutions which show a large positive deviation from Raoults law form minimum boiling azeotrope, and $95\%$ ethanol solution is minimum boiling azeotrope.
