Difference between azeotrope solution and normal solution?

azeotrope can't be distillation and normal solution can distill by simple heatup the solution


What is the difference between zeotropic and near-azeotropic?

zeotrope is a liquid mixture that shows no local maximum or minimum when vapour pressure is plotted as a function of composition.[1] Such a mixture is separable into its component parts by fractional distillation azeotropic distillation[1] is any of a range of techniques used to break an azeotrope in distillation. In chemical engineering, azeotropic distillation usually refers to the specific technique of adding another component to generate a new, lower-boiling azeotrope that is heterogeneous (e.g. producing two, immiscible liquid phases), such as the example below with the addition of benzene to water and ethanol. This practice of adding an entrainer which forms a separate phase is a specific sub-set of (industrial) azeotropic distillation methods, or combination thereof. In some senses, adding an entrainer is similar to extractive distillation.


Explain why a solution has a lower boiling point than the pure solvent?

Most solutions have a HIGHER boiling point than the pure solvent. A solution with a lower boiling point than the solvent has formed an azeotrope.


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 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 is the difference between r134a and r134a plus?

The 134a plus just has PAG oil added already, so that you (theoretically) don't have to add it after adding the R134a.
