The mixture that shows positive deviation from Raoult's law is:

A

Benzene + Toluene

B

Acetone + Chloroform

C

Chloroethane + Bromoethane

D

Ethanol + Acetone

Step-by-Step Solution

According to Raoult's Law:

  1. Ideal Solutions: Mixtures where solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions are similar to solute-solvent interactions obey Raoult's law. Examples include Benzene + Toluene and Chloroethane + Bromoethane.
  2. Negative Deviation: Occurs when intermolecular attractive forces between the solute and solvent (A-B) are stronger than those in pure components. Acetone + Chloroform shows negative deviation because chloroform forms hydrogen bonds with acetone molecules.
  3. Positive Deviation: Occurs when A-B interactions are weaker than A-A and B-B interactions. In Ethanol + Acetone, pure ethanol molecules are held together by strong hydrogen bonds. Adding acetone disrupts these bonds, weakening the overall intermolecular forces and leading to a higher vapour pressure than predicted (Positive Deviation).
