Mixture(s) showing positive deviation from Raoult's law at 35 °C is(are)
- (A)carbon tetrachloride + methanol✓ Correct
- (B)carbon disulphide + acetone✓ Correct
- (C)benzene + toluene
- (D)phenol + aniline
Answer: (A), (B)
Solution
Positive deviation occurs when intermolecular forces in the mixture are weaker than in pure components. Carbon tetrachloride + methanol shows positive deviation (non-polar + polar with H-bonding disrupted). Carbon disulphide + acetone shows positive deviation. Benzene + toluene form an ideal solution (similar structures). Phenol + aniline show negative deviation (strong H-bonding in mixture).
