Question : 6
Total: 26
What is meant by positive deviations from Raoult's law? Give an example. What is the sign of mix H for positive deviation?
OR
Define azeotropes. What type of azeotrope is formed by positive deviation from Raoult's law? Give an example.
Solution:  
When vapour pressure of solution is higher than that predicted by Raoult's law the intermolecular attractive forces between the solute-solvent (AB) molecules are weaker than those between the solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecules (A-A or B-B molecules).
Eg. ethanol-acetone / ethanol-cyclohexane / CS2 acetone or any other correct example mix H is positive.
OR
(a) Azeotropes are binary mixtures having the same composition in the liquid and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature.
(b) Minimum boiling azeotrope
eg-ethanol + water or any other example
