The mixture which shows positive deviation from Raoult's law is :
- Benzene + Toluene
- Acetone + Chloroform
- Chloroethane + Bromoethane
- Ethanol + Acetone
Answer
(4) Ethanol + Acetone
Solution
As per NCERT, in pure ethanol the molecules are hydrogen bonded. On adding acetone, its molecules get in between the ethanol molecules and break some of the hydrogen bonds.
the A–B interactions are weaker than A–A and B–B interactions
the escaping tendency of molecules increases, so the mixture shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
Benzene + toluene and chloroethane + bromoethane form nearly ideal solutions.
Acetone + chloroform form hydrogen bonds with each other negative deviation.
