List-I (Mixture) List-II (Characteristic) (A) n -Hexane + n -Heptane (I) Minimum boiling azeotrope (B) Carbon disulfide + Acetone (II) Negative deviation from Raoult's law (C) Phenol + Aniline (III) Positive deviation from Raoult's law (D) Ethanol ( 95 % ) + Water (IV) Obeys Raoult's law over entire concentration range Choose the correc
Options
- A(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)
- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Step-by-step solution
(A) n -Hexane and n -Heptane have similar structures and intermolecular forces, so they form an ideal solution which obeys Raoult's law over the entire concentration range (IV). (B) Carbon disulfide and acetone mixture shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law because the dipole-dipole interactions between solute and solvent are weaker than the interactions in pure components (III). (C) Phenol and aniline form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the phenolic proton and the lone pair on the nitrogen atom
