Which of the following solutions shows positive deviation from Raoult's law? |
Water and Hydrochloric acid Acetone and Aniline Acetone and Ethanol Benzene and carbon tetrachloride |
Acetone and Ethanol |
A positive deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the vapor pressure of a solution is higher than what would be expected based on Raoult's law. This typically happens when there are strong intermolecular forces between unlike molecules, leading to an increase in the vapor pressure of the solution. |
