Solution
The correct option is D Ethanol + Acetone In positive deviation from Raolt's Law, the resulting solution has more vapour pressure than the ideal solution of the constituent liquids.
This is because the A-B interactions are weaker than A-A & B-B ones.
Because there is hydrogen bonding present in the ethyl alcohol solution and acetone molecules tend to occupy the space between them due to which some hydrogen bonds breaks, results in weaking of A−B interaction.
