What deviation is shown by a mixture of equimolar phenol and aniline?(a) Negative deviation(b) Positive deviation(c) No deviation(d) Alternating positive and negativeThe question was posed to me in an internship interview.The above asked question is from Vapour Pressure of Liquid Solutions topic in division Solutions of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) Negative deviation

Explanation: Phenol and aniline both EXHIBIT greater magnitude of hydrogen bonding due to the presence of hydroxyl and amine group, both possessing highly electronegative atoms of oxygen and NITROGEN, RESPECTIVELY. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding is far greater than the DEGREE of intramolecular hydrogen bonding which requires more thermal energy to break. Thus, there is an increase in the boiling point of the mixture.
