Ideal Solution Vs Azeotropes
The differences between Ideal Solution and Azeotropes are explained in the table added below,
Difference Between Ideal Solution and Azeotropes |
||
---|---|---|
Characteristics |
Ideal Solution |
Azeotropes |
Definition |
A mixture that obeys Raoult’s law for all components over the entire range of composition and temperature. |
A mixture of two or more substances that has a constant boiling point and composition. |
Raoult’s Law |
Obeys Raoult’s Law |
At Least one Component violate Raoult’s Law. |
Separation |
Components can be separated by simple distillation process. |
Special process like Azeotropic distillation is used. |
Boiling Point |
The boiling point of each component in the ideal solution is affected by its own vapor pressure. |
Azeotropes have a constant boiling point, different from the boiling points of individual components. |
Example |
Toluene and Benzene |
Ethanol-water azeotrope |
Azeotropic Mixture
Azeotropic Mixture is a mixture of two or more liquids with a similar boiling point and a similar composition in their vapor phase. Unlike most mixtures, an azeotropic mixture has a constant boiling point and composition during the vaporization process. In this article, we will study the different concepts related to Azeotropic mixture in detail.
