Yes, an azeotrope is a mixture of two or more components that has a constant boiling point and cannot be separated by distillation. The ethanol-water mixture forms an azeotrope at a specific composition, where the vapor has the same concentration of ethanol as the liquid.
The azeotrope concentration of a water-xylene system is approximately 71.4% xylene and 28.6% water by weight at a temperature of 73.5 degrees Celsius. This azeotrope forms when the vapor and liquid phases have the same composition, making it difficult to separate the two components by distillation.
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.
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.
Water is a compound - H2O.
It is a mixture of salt and water.
Yes.

True. Ethyl acetate and water do form an azeotrope at a specific composition, where the vapor phase has the same ratio of ethyl acetate to water as the liquid phase. This azeotrope has a boiling point lower than that of either pure component.
No, ethylene dichloride (EDC) does not form an azeotrope with hydrochloric acid (HCl) since they have different compositions and boiling points. An azeotrope forms when two or more components in a mixture have the same composition in both the liquid and vapor phases at a specific temperature and pressure.
An azeotrope solution is a mixture of liquids that boils at a constant temperature, without changing composition, unlike a normal solution where the boiling point changes as components evaporate at different rates. Azeotropes are formed due to specific interactions between the components in the mixture, leading to the unique behavior.
Yes, R410a is an azeotropic refrigerant, meaning it is a mixture of two or more refrigerants that behaves as a single substance with a constant boiling temperature.
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.
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.
The DMSO azeotrope is important in chemical processes because it helps to remove water from reactions involving dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). This azeotrope formation allows for better control of the reaction conditions and can improve the efficiency of the reaction by preventing side reactions or unwanted byproducts.
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.
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.
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.
