Solution

The correct option is D it shows positive deviation from Raoult's law
When a solution shows positive deviation from Raoult's law, the intermolecular forces present are weaker than those present in the ideal solution. The total vapour pressure of the solution is greater than the total vapour pressure of the ideal solution.

Also, the vapour pressure of each component is greater than that predicted from Raoult's law. Hence, the azeotropic mixture of two liquids boils at a lower temperature than either of them.

Option D is correct.

Which of the following liquid pairs shows a positive deviation from Raoults law?

Q. A solution of

C H C l_{3} + C H_{3} C O C H_{3}

shows negative deviation from Raoults law.

Q. CASE1: Read the passage given below and answer the following question.

The solution which obeys Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration are known as ideal solutions. The solution which does not obey Raoults law over the entire range of concentration, then it is called non-ideal solution. The vapour pressure of such as a solution is either higher or lower than that predicted by Raoult’s law. If it is higher, the solution exhibits positive deviation and if it is lower, it exhibits negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
Some liquids on mixing, form azeotropes which are binary mixture having the same composition in liquid and vapour phase. There are two types of azeotropes. Minimum boiling azeotropes and maximum boiling azeotropes.
