Which is the azeotrope concentration of water-xylene system?
water and m-xylene azeotrope at 94.5C, 40% h2o, 60%xylene
Why theoretical value of ethanol in distillation process is differ with experimental value?
While the distillation is going on ,at 94.6% ethanol-water mixture forms an azeotrope which hampers further distillation.So ethanol cannot be made 100% pure.But concentration of ethanol can be increased by breaking the azeotrope by addition of benzene in large amount.
When are azeotropes formed?
Azeotropes are formed when the ratio of the mixture of two liquids can't be changed by regular distillation. Ethanol has an azeotrope at about 96% with water, beyond this you can't distil it any more and would need to use dehydrating agents to get it pure.
How do you separate benzene from dimethylformamide?
you can try distillation. benzene has a boiling point of 80 deg C and DMF is more like 150 deg C. i don't think it will form an azeotrope (may be wrong though). if it does form an azeotrope and the concentration of DMF is not too high, you can try washing the distillate in a sep funnel with water. DMF is freely miscible in water, whereas benzene is non-soluble in water.
Is water a compound or a mixture give reasons for the answer water is a mixture not a compound as a the it is not specific that it is a slat water or a distilled water as a water is a mixture?
Water is a compound - H2O.
Is etanol soluble in water?
Yes.

Ethyl acetate and water forms an azeotrope?
Yes, the boiling point of the azeotrope is 70.3 °C and contains 8.5 wt% water. see: http://www.solvent--recycling.com/azeotrope_1.html
Is ethyl alcohol is mixture?
Ethanol is a compound. However, it's a little tricky to get it completely pure, since it forms an azeotrope with water at 95% ethanol/5% water.

What is the deffrenece bitween asolute alcohol and sprite alcohol?
Absolute Alcohol is the product of Azeotropic Distillation to drive out water which forms a constant boiling mixture (azeotrope) with the alcohol at approx 94% purity. It always contains some small amount of the additive used to break the azeotrope (usually Benzene) but approaches 100% purity. Spirit Alcohol one the other hand, is the product of straight distillation and thus never gets rid of that last ~6% water.
What is an azeotropic mixture?
An azeotrope is a mixture of substances in a certain ratio such that simple distillation cannot completely separate the components of the mixture. See the wikipedia entry below for a more complete description.
What property of the isopropanol is different from the water which allows us to separate them?
Different boiling points ... fractional distillation will separate them, BUT it forms a constant boiling mixture at 87.7% (w/w.) If you want it any purer than that, you will have to introduce a 3rd component to break the azeotrope.
What is pressure swing adsorption?
Pressure Swing Adsorption refers to the process of purification of Hydrogen gas which is manufactured in a plant like rfinery. Hydrogen which is formed as a by-product in process like Reforming is also used as a raw material within the refinery process like Hydrotreating and Isomerization. So it has to be made impurities free for use. So Hydrogen is purified by the process known as pressure swing adsorption in which impurities are adsorbed on the surface and Hydrogen becomes clean.
How do you separate Ethanol and water?
Ethanol and water can be separated by fractional distillation. Fractional distillation separates liquid mixtures with different boiling points. Ethanol boils at a lower temperature than water. However, it forms a boiling azeotrope with water (azeotropes occur when solvent mixtures boil at a lower temperature than the component solvents). The azeotrope boils at 77.85 degrees, whereas pure ethanol boils at 78.4 degrees. The azeotrope is 96% ethanol and 4% water by volume. This is the maximum concentration of ethanol that can be achieved by simple distillation. Other methods of separating ethanol from water include using salts to make the water and ethanol phase-separate, using molecular sieves, using additives to change the azeotropic mixture, or distilling dry ethanol from wet ethanol that has been treated with a water-reactive metal, leaving behind the solid metal hydroxide.
Difference between azeotrope solution and normal solution?
azeotrope can't be distillation and normal solution can distill by simple heatup the solution
