WHAT DOES AZEOTROPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Azeotrope

An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation. This happens because, when an azeotrope is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture. Because their composition is unchanged by distillation, azeotropes are also called constant boiling mixtures. The word azeotrope is derived from the Greek words ζέειν and τρόπος combined with the prefix α- to give the overall meaning, "no change on boiling". Azeotropic mixtures of pairs of compounds have been documented, and many azeotropes of three or more compounds are also known. They are binary mixtures having the same composition in liquid and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature. In such a case it is not possible to separate the components by fractional distillation. There are two types of azeotropes: minimum boiling azeotrope and maximum boiling azeotrope. A solution that shows greater positive deviation from Raoult's law forms a minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition.

Definition of azeotrope in the English dictionary

The definition of azeotrope in the dictionary is a mixture of liquids that boils at a constant temperature, at a given pressure, without change of composition.
