The mixture which shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law is:

  1. A
    Ethanol + Acetone
  2. B
    Benzene + Toluene
  3. C
    Acetone + Chloroform
  4. D
    Chloroethane + Bromoethane

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In Ethanol + Acetone, the strong hydrogen bonding in pure ethanol is weakened by acetone molecules. This increases the vapour pressure of the mixture compared to an ideal solution, resulting in positive deviation.Benzene + Toluene and Chloroethane + Bromoethane are nearly ideal.Acetone + Chloroform shows negative deviation due to new H-bond formation.
