Azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be changed by simple distillation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitic acid and water is an example of azeotrope. The composition of 68% of nitric acid and 32% of water by mass in a boiling point of 393.5k.

The composition of perchloric acid (71.6%) and water boils at 203°c. Pure iron solution weights about 10g is placed in a beaker, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid mixtures are added and heated to dissolve. Add perchloric acid until it evaporate and produces white smoke.cool it down add water and dissolve the salt.
