Answer 1

A mixture which boils off like a single pure component is called azeotropic.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is a specific mixture of two or more liquids that boils at a constant temperature and behaves like a single pure substance. Its vapour has the same composition as the liquid, so it cannot be separated by simple distillation.
