Solution:
- When intermolecular attraction between two components $A$ and $B$ in the mixture is same as between $A$ and $A$ or $B$ and $B$, hence it is a case of ideal solution.
When intermolecular attraction between $A$ and $B$ in a mixture is smaller than that between $A$ and $A$ or $B$ and $B$, then mixture is more vaporised, $bp$ is lowered. It is a case of positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
When intermolecular attraction between $A$ and $B$ is higher than that between $A$ and $A$ or $B$ and $B$, then mixture is less vaporised, $bp$ is increased. It is a case of negative deviation.
(a) Methanol molecules $\left(CH _3 OH\right)$ are hydrogen bonded. In a mixture of $CCl _4$ and $CH _3 OH$, extent of $H$-bonding is decreased. Mixture is more vaporised thus, positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
(b) Acetone molecules have higher intermolecular attraction due to dipole-dipole interaction. With $CS _2$, this interaction is decreased thus, positive deviation.
(c) Mixture of benzene and toluene forms ideal solution.
(d) Phenol and aniline have higher interaction due to intermolecular $H$-bonding. Hence, negative deviation.
