Solutions Question 410
Question: The total vapor pressure of a mixture of 1 mol of volatile component A ( = 100 mm Hg) and 3 mol of volatile component B ( =80 mm Hg) is 90 mm Hg. For such case:
Options:
A) there is a positive deviation from Raoult’s law
B) boiling point has been lowered
C) force of attraction between A and B is smaller than that between A and A or between B and B
D) all the above statements are correct
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Actual vapor pressure is greater than the vapor pressure of ideal solution. Hence, a positive deviation from Raoult’s Jaw.
