Positive deviation from Raoult's law means a mixture whose total pressure is___________________?

Correct answer: A. Greater than that computed for ideality

  • A. Greater than that computed for ideality
  • B. Less than that computed for ideality
  • C. Less than the sum of the vapour pressure of the components
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Positive deviation means the unlike-molecule attractions are weaker than those in the pure liquids, allowing more molecules to escape into the vapour. Therefore, the total pressure exceeds the Raoult's-law ideal value.
