2. An azeotropic solution of two liquids has boiling point lower then either when it
a. Shows a negative deviation from Raoult’s law
b. Shows no deviation from Raoult’s law
c. Shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law
d. Is saturated
Ans. c
Explanation : When the solution shows deviation from Raoult’s there is an itnermediate composition for which the vapour pressure of the solution is maximum and hence boiling point is minimum.
