A solution of acetone in ethanol:
A solution of acetone in ethanol:
Show Hint
Solutions showing a positive deviation from Raoult’s law have weaker interactions between solute and solvent molecules compared to the individual components.
Updated On: Feb 24, 2026
- obeys Raoult’s law.
- forms an ideal solution.
- shows a positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
- shows a negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Acetone and ethanol, when mixed, exhibit positive deviation from Raoult’s law. This deviation arises from weaker intermolecular forces between acetone and ethanol molecules compared to their self-interactions, resulting in a vapor pressure exceeding Raoult’s law predictions.

- $W$ g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass $M\,\text{g mol}^{-1}$ when dissolved in $100\,\text{mL}$ water decreases vapour pressure of water from $640\,\text{mm Hg}$ to $600\,\text{mm Hg}$. If aqueous solution of the electrolyte boils at $375\,\text{K}$ and $K_b$ for water is $0.52\,\text{K kg mol}^{-1}$, then the mole fraction of the electrolyte $(x_2)$ in the solution can be expressed as ___.
