According to Raoult's law, "The vapor pressure exerted by component in a solution is proportional to the mole fraction of that component." Raoult's law is not applicable under the following assumption/condition?

Correct answer: C. In the formation of solution, chemical combination/molecular association between unlike

  • A. No component is concentrated at the surface of the solution
  • B. The component molecules are non polar and are of almost equal size
  • C. In the formation of solution, chemical combination/molecular association between unlike
  • D. molecules takes place
  • E. The attractive forces between like and unlike molecules are almost equal

Explanation

Raoult's law works best when unlike molecules interact nearly as strongly as like molecules and no association or chemical reaction occurs. Molecular association between unlike molecules causes a major deviation from the law.
