A non ideal solution was prepared by mixing 30 ml chloroform and 50 ml acetone. The volume of mixture will be.
A
> 80 ml
B
< 80 ml
C
= 80 ml
D
≥ 80 ml
Answer
< 80 ml
Explanation
Solution
Chloroform & acetone form a non-ideal solution, in which H-bonding. Hence, the solution shows, negative deviation from Raoult’s Law i.e., ΔVmix=−ve ; ΔHmix=−ve
∴ total volume of solution = less than (30 + 50 ml)
or <80ml
