The mixture that forms maximum boiling azeotrope is:

  1. A
    Water + Nitric acid
  2. B
    Ethanol + Water
  3. C
    Acetone + Carbon disulphide
  4. D
    Heptane + Octane

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Maximum boiling azeotropes are formed by solutions showing large negative deviations from Raoult's law (e.g., strong H-bonding between components). Water + Nitric acid is a classic example.
Minimum boiling azeotropes show positive deviation (e.g., Ethanol + Water).

Heptane + Octane is nearly ideal.
