Please explain the concept used in this question,.
Dear student,
A solution that shows large negative deviation from Raoult's law forms a maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. Nitric acid and water is an example of this class of azeotrope. This azeotrope has an approximate composition of 68% nitric acid and 32% water by mass.
Solution showing large negative deviations forms maximum boiling azeotropes(boiling point of solution is more than boiling point of both of constituents) and boiling point of above azeotrope is 395.5K. So T > 359K and T> 373K both are correct but T> 373K is your answer for single choice question.
Regards,
