B) The mixture cannot be separated by fractional distillation.
C) The solution behaves as an ideal solution.
D) The vapor has a different composition than the liquid.
E) The solution has the same pressure as the pure solvent.
37) An azeotropic mixture is a:
A) mixture of two or more substances where boiling point cannot be determined
B) solution of two or more substances present in the same amounts in the liquid phase

38) A solution composed of 5 moles of acetone (CH3COCH3, P°A = 324 mmHg) and 5 moles of
chloroform (CHCl3, P° = 274 mmHg) has a vapor pressure of 236 mmHg. Which one of the following
statements is completely true about this solution?
A) The solution shows a negative deviation from Raoult’s law and thus possesses a maximum boiling
azeotrope.
B) The solution process is exothermic because the forces between unlike molecules are weaker than those
between like molecules.
C) The solution shows a positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
D) The solution possesses a minimum boiling azeotrope because it shows a negative deviation from
Raoult’s law.
E) The solution obeys Raoult’s Law.
