What is the difference between an azeotropic mixture and a near azeotropic mixture?
a. An azeotropic mixture has a constant boiling point, while a near azeotropic mixture has a slightly variable boiling point.
b. An azeotropic mixture has a fixed composition, while a near azeotropic mixture has a slightly variable composition.
c. An azeotropic mixture forms a single phase, while a near azeotropic mixture can form multiple phases.
d. An azeotropic mixture exhibits maximum vapor pressure, while a near azeotropic mixture exhibits slightly lower vapor pressure.
e. An azeotropic mixture cannot be further separated by simple distillation, while a near azeotropic mixture can be partially separated.
