Why does a solution of ethanol and cyclohexane show positive deviation from Raoult's law?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On adding cyclohexane, is molecules get in between the molecules of ethanol thus breaking the hydrogen bonds and reducing ethanol - ethanol interactions. This will increase the vapour pressure of the solution and result in positive deviation from Raoult's law.
