Raoult's law is applicable to the_____________________?
Correct answer: B. Ideal solutions
- A. Real solutions
- B. Ideal solutions
- C. Mixture of water and alcohol
- D. Non-ideal gases
Explanation
Raoult's law is strictly applicable to ideal liquid solutions, where each component's partial pressure equals its mole fraction multiplied by its saturation vapour pressure. Real solutions may show positive or negative deviations.
