Azeotrooppisuuden
Azeotrooppisuuden, in Finnish, refers to the property of a liquid mixture where the components coexist in the vapor phase in the same composition as in the liquid phase, creating a constant boiling point. This phenomenon occurs when the vapor pressure of the mixture behaves in a way that the mixture boils at a single temperature, despite the presence of more than one component. The resulting mixture is called an azeotrope and can be either type I (minimum boiling) or type II (maximum boiling) depending on whether the azeotropic point is below or above the temperatures of the pure components.
The concept is crucial in chemical engineering and distillation, as azeotropes limit the efficiency of separation
Azeotrooppisuuden also has practical importance in industries like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and fuels, where precise control over
