The mixture that forms a maximum boiling azeotrope is

Rectified spirit is a mixture of

The mixture of ethanol and water cannot be separated by simple distillation because:

Azeotropic mixtures are

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:

An azeotropic solution boils at a temperature lower than the boiling point of any of its components. This solution shows:
