In a binary liquid solution of components „A‟ and „B‟, if component „A‟ exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law, then component „B‟ ?
Correct answer: B. Exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law
- A. Exhibits negative deviation from Raoult's law
- B. Exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law
- C. Obeys Raoult's law
- D. May exhibit either positive or negative deviation from Raoult's law
Explanation
In a binary solution, positive deviation means unlike A-B interactions are weaker than the average like interactions, increasing the escaping tendency of both components. Hence B also exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law.
