Azeotropes are the mixtures of liquids which boil at a constant temperature. Azeotropes may be called constant boiling point mixtures or azeotropic mixtures.[1]
Their proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation.
Types change
Azeotropes are classified into two types
- Minimum boiling azeotrope
- Maximum boiling azeotrope
