Solution

Positive deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the total vapour pressure of the solution is more than corresponding vapour pressure in case of ideal solution.

$P = P_{A} + P_{B} > P_{A}^{o} X_{A} + P_{B}^{o} X_{B}$

Negative deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the total vapour pressure of the solution is less than corresponding vapour pressure in case of the ideal solution.

$P = P_{A} + P_{B} < P_{A}^{o} X_{A} + P_{B}^{o} X_{B}$

For positive deviation from Raoult's law, $Δ_{m i x} H$ has a positive sign.

For negative deviation from Raoult's law, $Δ_{m i x} H$ has a negative sign.
