Question
State Raoult’s law for solutions of volatile liquid components. Taking a suitable example, explain the meaning of positive deviation from Raoult’s law.

Answer

Raoult’s law states that for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proprtional to its mole fraction.
When the solute-solvent interaction is weaker than those between the solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecules then solution shows positive deviation from Raoults law hence the partial pressure of each component is greater. ex. mixture of ethanol and acetone or carbondisulphide and acetone behave in this manner.
