1.Solution and Colligative properties
easy
Which of the following does not show negative deviation from Raoult’s law
A
Acetone-Chloroform
B
Acetone-Benzene
C
Chloroform-Ether
D
Chloroform-Benzene
Solution
A mixture of chloroform and acetone forms a solution with a negative deviation from Raoult's law. because chloroform molecule is able to form hydrogen bonds with acetone molecules.
Due to $H$-bonding type interactions formed between the hydrogen atom of chloroform and 'pi' electron cloud of the benzene ring. chloroform-benzene interactions are stronger than chloroform-chloroform and benzene-benzene interactions. thus show a negative deviation from Raoult's law.
Acetone – Benzene show positive deviation.
