Q. A solution containing components $A$ and $B$ follows Raoult's law when

Solutions

Solution:

Raoult's law is valid for ideal solutions only. The element of non-ideality enters into the picture when the molecules of the solute and solvent effect each others intermolecular forces. A solution containing components of $A$ and $B$ behaves as an ideal solution when $A-B$ attraction force remains same as $A-A$ and $B-B$.
