Q34 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Solutions

A non-ideal solution was prepared by mixing 30 mL chloroform and 50 mL acetone. The volume of mixture will be

  • A
    >80 mL
  • Correct answer
    B
    <80 mL
  • C
    =80 mL
  • D
    ≥80 mL

Solution

Chloroform and acetone form a non-ideal solution, in which A...B type interaction are more than A...A and B...B type interactions due to H-bonding. Hence, the solution shows negative deviation form Raoult's law. i.e.,

△Vmix=-ve,

△Hmix=-ve,

∴ Total volume of solution = less than (30+50)mL

or 80mL

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
