Solution
The correct option is B Positive deviation from Raoult's law. Positive deviations from Raoult's law are noticed when i. Expreimental value of vapour pressure of mixture is more than calculated value. ii. Expreimental value of boiling point of mixture is less than calculated value. iii. ΔmixingH=+ve iv. ΔmixingV=−ve
