What is Azeotrope?
[[File:VLEIsoropanolWaterAzeotrope.png|thumb|upright=1.6|Vapour&ndash;liquid equilibrium of [[2-propanol]]/water showing azeotropic behaviour]] '''Azeotropes''' are the mixtures of liquids which boil at a constant temperature. Azeotropes may be called ''constant boiling point mixtures'' or ''azeotropic mixtures''.<ref>Moore, Walter J. 1962.
