What is Azeotropic mixture or solution?
A solution which boils like a pure liquid and has same composition in liquid as well as vapour phase is called Azeotropic solution or mixture.
Features of Azeotropic mixture:
# For Azeotropic solution XA =YA
# An ideal solution can not form Azeotropic mixture.
# only non ideal solution form Azeotropic mixture.
# composition of Azeotrope alter on changing external pressure.
# Azeotropic solution can't separated by fractional distillation.
Type of Azeotropic solution or mixture:
(1) Minimum boiling Azeotropic solution.
It is formed by solution which show positive (+) deviation from ideal behaviour. Such solution has boiling point smaller than boiling point of both of components liquids.
For example, mixture of 95% ethanol by weight and 4% of water.
Water boils at 373 K, and ethanol boils at about 351.5K, while azeotropes mixture of both boil at around 351.15 K, suggesting a boiling point lower than its constituents.
(2) Maximum boiling Azeotropic solution.
It is formed by solution which show negative (-) deviation from ideal behaviour. Such solution has boiling point larger than boiling point of both of components liquids.
For example, mixture of approximately 20% by weight hydrochloric acid and 79 % of water.
Water boils at 373 K and hydrochloric acid boil at about 188 K, while azeotropes of both boil at around 383 K which is a boiling point greater than its constituents.

50 ml of dry ammonia gas was sparked for a long time in an eudiometer tube over mercury. After sparkling, the volume becomes 97 ml. After washing the gas with water and drying, the volume becomes 94 ml. This was mixed with 60.5 ml of oxygen and the mixture was burnt. After the completion of the combustion of H2 , the volume of residual gas was 48.75 ml. Derive the molecular formula of ammonia. (Given, N and H are only present in ammonia molecule).
