A binary liquid solution is prepared by mixing n-heptane and ethanol. Which one of the following statements is correct regarding the behaviour of the solution ?
Multiple Choice Options
- A The solution formed is an ideal solution
- B The solution is non-ideal, showing +ve deviation from Raoult’s law.
- C The solution is non-ideal, showing –ve deviation from Raoult’s law.
- D n-heptane shows +ve deviation while ethanol shows –ve deviation from Raoult’s law.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
For this solution intermolecular interactions between -heptane and ethanol aare weaker than -heptane - - heptane & ethanol-ethanol interactions hence the solution of -heptane and ethanol is non-ideal and shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
