Question

Consider the following statements about the solutions formed by mixing two liquids.

A. An ideal solution thus formed obeys Raoult's law throughout the composition range.

B. Mixture of chloroform and acetone shows negative deviation from Raoult's law.

C. Mixture of aniline and phenol shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.

Options

A.A only
B.A and C only
C.A and B only
D.B and C only

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Non-ideal solutions — deviations from Raoult's law]

In the case of phenol and aniline solution, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between phenolic proton and lone pair on nitrogen atom of aniline is stronger than the respective intermolecular hydrogen bonding between similar molecules. Therefore, it shows negative deviation.
