MCQ
An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid
  • A
    Obeys Raoult’s law
  • Shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law
  • C
    Shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law
  • D
    Obeys Henry’s law at all compositions

Answer

Correct option: B.
Shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law
b
Shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law. If the attraction between different molecules, for example between $HCl$ and $H_2O$ molecules, is stronger, the escaping tendency from the solution to the vapour phase will be smaller, then the partial vapour pressure will be smaller than predicted by Raoult’s law and the system exhibits a negative deviation.
