13. An azeotropic solution of two liquids has boiling point lower than either of them when it

(1981, 1M)

(a) shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law

(b) shows no deviation from Raoult’s law

(c) shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law

(d) is saturated

Objective Questions II

(One or more than one correct option)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. In case of positive deviation from Raoult’s law, the observed vapour pressure is greater than the ideal vapour pressure and boiling point of azeotrope becomes lower than either of pure liquid.
