What causes positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law? Give one example of solution for each type of deviation.

Answer»

Reason for deviation from ideal behaviour : Different interactions between solvent and solute particles causes deviation from ideal behaviour.
In positive deviations, solute-solvent interactions are weaker than the interactions between solute-solute and solvent-solvent particles.
Example of positive deviation: Alcohol + H2O
In negative deviations, solute-solvent interactions are stronger than between solute-solute and solvent-solvent particles.
Example of negative deviation: HNO3 + H2O
