What are Some Examples of Minimum Boiling Azeotropes?
An example of a commonly encountered minimum boiling azeotrope is the ethanol-water mixture, which boils at 78.1°C, lower than the boiling points of pure ethanol (78.37°C) and water (100°C). Another example is the acetone-methanol azeotrope, which boils at 55.5°C, compared to acetone (56.5°C) and methanol (64.7°C).
