Which of the following is true regarding azeotropes?

Which of the following is true regarding azeotropes?
  1. An azeotrope does not exhibit the same concentration in the vapour phase and the liquid phase
  2. Azeotropic mixtures cannot be separated into their constituents by fractional distillation
  3. In case of minimum boiling azeotropes, the boiling point of the azeotrope is higher than the boiling point of either of the pure components
  4. In case of maximum boiling azeotropes, the boiling point of the azeotrope is lesser than the boiling point of either of the pure components

Solution

Azeotropes have the same concentration in the vapour phase and the liquid phase. In case of minimum boiling azeotropes, the boiling point of the azeotrope is lesser than the booling point of either of the pure components. In case of maximum boiling azeotropes, the boling point of the azeotrope is higher than the boiling point of either of the pure components. ,
