Which of the following shows negative deviation from Raoult's law?

Options

  1. ABenzene-chloroform
  2. BBenzene-ethanol
  3. CBenzene-carbon tetrachloride
  4. DBenzene-acetone

Correct answer

A. Benzene-chloroform

Step-by-step solution

Negative deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the intermolecular forces of attraction between the components (A-B) are stronger than the forces between the pure components (A-A and B-B). This leads to a decrease in total vapor pressure and a release of heat (exothermic mixing). Benzene and chloroform form a mixture where chloroform ( CHCl₃ ) can form a weak hydrogen bond with the -electron cloud of the benzene ring. This interaction is stronger than the interactions in pure benzene or pure chloroform, resulting
