Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (iii), (iv)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Minimum boiling azeotropes are formed by solutions showing large positive deviation from Raoult's law, where A-B interactions are weaker than A-A and B-B interactions. (i) Heptane + Octane: Both are similar non-polar alkanes, forming a nearly ideal solution. No azeotrope formed.…
