Which of the following liquid pairs exhibits a positive deviation from Raoult's law?

  1. A.Acetone and Chloroform
  2. B.Benzene and Toluene
  3. C.Ethanol and AcetoneCorrect answer
  4. D.Chloroform and Benzene

Solution

Ethanol and acetone show positive deviation from Raoult's law. In pure ethanol, molecules are held together by strong hydrogen bonds. Addition of acetone disrupts these hydrogen bonds, resulting in weaker solute-solvent interactions and increased vapor pressure.
