Q25 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Solutions

At 35ºC, the vapour pressure of CS2 is 512 mm Hg and that of acetone is 344 mm Hg. A solution of CS2 in acetone has a total vapour pressure of 600 mm Hg. The false statement amongst the following is

  • Correct answer
    A
    A mixture of 100 mL CS2 and 100 mL acetone has a volume <200 mL
  • B
    Roult's law is not obeyed by this system
  • C
    Heat must be absorbed in order to produce the solution at 35ºC
  • D
    CS2 and acetone are less attracted to each other than to themselves

Solution

The vapour pressure of mixture (= 600 mm Hg) is greater than the individual vapour pressure of its constituents (Vapour pressure of CS2= 512 mm Hg, acetone = 344 mm Hg).
Hence, the solution formed shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
1 Δsol.H>0,
2 Raoult's law is not obeyed
3 Δsol. Volume > 0
4 CS2 and Acetone are less attracted to each other than to themselves.

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