Explanation:
Azeotrope:
An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids that has a constant boiling point and composition throughout the distillation process. This means that the vapor produced has the same composition as the liquid mixture, and therefore cannot be further separated by distillation.
Composition:
In this question, the distillate has the composition of an azeotrope. This means that the liquid mixture being distilled has a specific composition that cannot be changed by distillation. The composition of the distillate will be the same as the composition of the original liquid mixture.
Rich Phase:
The residue, on the other hand, has a rich phase of one component. This means that one component of the liquid mixture is present in a higher concentration in the residue compared to the original mixture. The other component(s) will be present in a lower concentration or may even be completely absent in the residue.
Boiling Point:
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a vapor. In this question, the azeotropic mixture has a constant boiling point, which means that it does not change as the liquid is distilled. The boiling point of the azeotropic mixture is lower than the boiling point of the individual components.
Answer:
Based on the given information, the azeotropic mixture is a minimum boiling mixture. This means that the boiling point of the azeotropic mixture is lower than the boiling points of the individual components. The distillation process cannot separate the components further because they form an azeotrope with a constant boiling point and composition.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Minimum boiling mixture.
