QUESTION 2.37
Vapour pressures of pure acetone and chloroform at 328 K are 741.8 mm Hg and 632.8 mm Hg respectively. Assuming that they form ideal solution over the entire range of composition, plot ptotal, pchloroform and pacetone. The experimental data observed for different compoisition of mixture is:

Plot this data also on the same graph paper. Indicate whether it has positive deviation or negative deviation from the ideal solution.

Since, the plot ptotal dips downwards, the solution shows negative deviation from Raoult's law.
