The mixture which shows positive deviation from Raoult's law is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Ethanol-acetone mixture shows positive deviation due to weaker 
interaction in
comparison to 
or 
interaction. Pure ethanol molecules are hydrogen bonded. When acetone is added, its molecules get in between the ethanol molecules and break some of the hydrogen bonds between them. Thus, the intermolecular attractive interactions are weakens and the solution shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
