Solution
The correct option is B Ethanol + water The solutions which show a large positive deviation from Raoult’s law form minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition.
(a) Water + nitric acid show large negative deviation from Raoult’s law form maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition
(b) Ethanol-water mixture show a large positive deviation from Raoult’s law form minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition.
(c) Benzene + toluene form ideal solution.
(d) n- hexane + n-heptane is an example of ideal solution.
