🔍 Key Concepts

• Azeotrope / azeotropic mixture definition in basic thermodynamics • How the boiling point of a mixture can behave compared to the boiling points of its pure components • Difference between a mixture that behaves like a single pure substance vs one that acts like separate components when boiling

💭 Think About

• Think about whether an azeotropic refrigerant mixture changes composition between liquid and vapor as it boils, or if both phases have the same composition • Compare how a normal (non‑azeotropic) mixture’s boiling point depends on each component’s boiling point and composition versus how an azeotrope behaves • Look for the choice that best reflects a mixture acting as if it has one fixed boiling temperature rather than a range tied directly to each individual component’s boiling point

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices link the boiling or condensation behavior directly to the component with the highest or lowest boiling/condensation point, and which do not • Ask: does an azeotrope boil over a range of temperatures or at a single, constant temperature at a given pressure? • Confirm which option suggests the mixture behaves like one pure refrigerant with its own characteristic boiling point, instead of one determined by the separate components’ boiling points
