This question asks which binary mixture does not form a minimum boiling azeotrope. An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation. They have a constant boiling point. Minimum boiling azeotropes have a boiling point lower than either of their individual components.
Let's evaluate each option:
Therefore, the correct answer is \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2\) as they do not form such an azeotrope due to the specific interactions between the two components that stabilize their separate phases more than their mixture.
Key Concept:
Minimum boiling azeotropes form when:
- Components show positive deviation from Raoult's law
- Molecular interactions between unlike molecules are weaker than between like molecules
- Typically occurs between molecules with different polarity or hydrogen bonding capacity
Analysis of Options:
- Option 1: CS2 + CH3COCH3
- Carbon disulfide (non-polar) + acetone (polar)
- Forms minimum boiling azeotrope (shows positive deviation)
- Option 2: H2O + CH3COC2H5
- Water (strong H-bonding) + methyl ethyl ketone (weak H-bonding)
- Forms minimum boiling azeotrope
- Option 3: C6H5OH + C6H5NH2
- Phenol + aniline (both can form strong intermolecular H-bonds)
- Shows negative deviation (forms maximum boiling azeotrope)
- Correct answer as it doesn't form minimum boiling azeotrope
- Option 4: CH3OH + CHCl3
- Methanol + chloroform (forms H-bonded complex)
- Shows positive deviation (minimum boiling azeotrope)
