Which of the following will show a negative deviation from raoults law?
A. Acetone-benzene
B. Acetone-ethanol
C. Benzene- methanol
D. Acetone-chloroform

Solution

D.Acetone-chloroform
A solution of chloroform and acetone shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law due to the formation of hydrogen bond with acetone molecule by chloroform molecule. This decreases the chances of molecules of component to escape leading to the decrease in vapour pressure. And hence the solution exhibits negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
