Q331

What is the number of degree of freedom for a system of two miscible non-reacting species in vapor-liquid equilibrium forming an azeotrope?

A.
3
B.
2
C.
1
Answer
D.
0

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The given number of component
Given number of phases
We know,


And since under azeotropic conditions the composition of a component in both the phases remains same one of the independent variable becomes dependent and hence the degree of freedom reduces to 1.
