The vapour pressure of a solution of two liquids, A ( mm, ) and B ( mm, ) is found to be 100 mm. It Solutions and Colligative Properties Chemistry Question

Question

The vapour pressure of a solution of two liquids, A ($P^\circ = 80$ mm, $X = 0.4$) and B ($P^\circ = 120$ mm, $X = 0.6$) is found to be 100 mm. It shows that the solution exhibits

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

Ideal pressure $P = 80(0.4) + 120(0.6) = 32 + 72 = 104$ mm. The observed pressure is 100 mm, which is lower than the ideal pressure, indicating a negative deviation. Therefore, correct answer is A.
