Identify from the following pair of solutions on mixing exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law.
Options
- AChloroform and acetone
- BCarbon disulfide and acetone
- CPhenol and aniline
- DBenzene and toulene
Correct answer
B. Carbon disulfide and acetone
Step-by-step solution
Chloroform and acetone form intermolecular hydrogen bonds upon mixing, leading to stronger interactions and a negative deviation from Raoult's law. Carbon disulfide and acetone mixture exhibits a positive deviation because the non-polar carbon disulfide molecules disrupt the strong dipole-dipole interactions between acetone molecules, making the solute-solvent interactions weaker than the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions. Phenol and aniline form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in a neg
