Detailed Solution

Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by non-ideal solutions and they may have boiling points either greater than both the components or lesser than both the components and based on that they are called maximum boiling azeotrope and minimum boiling azeotrope respectively.
Azeotropic mixtures are binary mixtures having the same composition in liquid and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature.
