moles of liquid X and moles of liquid Y make a solution having a vapour pressure of . The vapour pressures of pure X and Y are and respectively. Which of the following is true regarding the described solution?

  1. A
    The solution shows positive deviation.
  2. B
    The solution shows negative deviation.
  3. C
    The solution is ideal.
  4. D
    The solution has volume greater than the sum of individual volumes.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Calculate mole fractions: and .2. Calculate ideal vapour pressure using Raoult's law:


3. Compare with observed pressure: .Since , the solution shows negative deviation from Raoult's law.
