Statement 1: Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by nonideal solutions and they may have boiling points either greater than both the components or less than both the components. Statement 2: The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of the liquid phase of an azeotropic mixture.

Answer: (B)

Solution

Both statements are factually correct: azeotropes arise only from non-ideal solutions and can show a maximum or minimum boiling point, and at the azeotropic composition the vapour and liquid have identical composition. However, Statement 2 only
