Question

What type of deviation is shown by a mixture of ethanol and acetone? What type of azeotrope is formed by mixing ethanol and acetone?

Answer 1

Ethanol annd acetone shows $+ve$ deviation because both are non polar compounds after mixing forces of attraction decreases like particle force of attraction > unlike particle force of attraction.

$\Rightarrow$ the type of deviation shown by a mixture of ethanol and acetone is positive deviation.

$\Rightarrow$ Thus, minimum Boiling point acetones are formed.
