The boiling point of an azeotropic mixture of water and ethanol is less than that of both pure water and pure ethanol. The mixture shows:

The azeotropic mixture of $HCl$ and water contains ...... $\%$ $HCl$.

Azeotropic mixtures are

Assertion : Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by non-$ideal$ solutions and they may have boiling points either greater than both components or less than both the components.
Reason : The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of the liquid phase of an azeotropic mixture.

The process of manufacture of absolute alcohol from rectified spirit is:

Water (boiling point $100^\circ C$) and $HCl$ (boiling point $85^\circ C$) form an azeotropic mixture at $108.5^\circ C$. What is obtained when this mixture is distilled?
