An azeotropic mixture is shown when both the liquids A & B starts coming in the distillate and the vapour and liquid phase will have the same composition. Via distillation an azeotropic mixture cannot be separated.
Components of a binary mixture of two liquids A and B were being separated by distillation. After some time separation of components stopped and the composition of the vapour phase became the same as that of a liquid phase. Both the components started coming in the distillate. Explain why this happened.
