Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Acetone-chloroform

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A maximum boiling azeotrope is formed by solutions showing a large negative deviation from Raoult's law. In an acetone-chloroform mixture, hydrogen bonding occurs between the oxygen atom of acetone and the hydrogen atom of chloroform. This makes the intermolecular attractive…
