Molecular interaction between alcohol and H2O
makes the solution non-
ideal with +ve
deviation, since the interation between alcohol and alcohol is H-
bond and H2O
and H2O
is also H-
bonding . After mixing, the interaction between alcohol and H2O
is also H-
bonding but less than the H-
bonding in alcohol and H2O
separately.
So the interation after mixing decreases and the vapour pressure of solution increases and forms low boiling point azeotropte.
