Water and ethanol form non-ideal solution with positive deviation from Raoult’s law. This solution will have vapour pressure

Question

Water and ethanol form non-ideal solution with positive deviation from Raoult’s law. This solution will have vapour pressure (A) equal to vapour pressure of pure water (B) less than vapour pressure of pure water (C) more than vapour pressure of pure water (D) less than vapour pressure of pure ethanol

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Due to positive deviation from Raoult’s law. So ethanol and water escape easily showing higher vapour pressure than expected value

Q. Water and ethanol form non-ideal solution with positive deviation from Raoult’s law. This solution will have vapour pressure

equal to vapour pressure of pure water

less than vapour pressure of pure water

more than vapour pressure of pure water

less than vapour pressure of pure ethanol

Due to positive deviation from Raoult’s law. So ethanol and water escape easily showing higher vapour pressure than expected value
