What role does the molecular interaction play in a solution of alcohol and water ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There is strong hydrogen bonding in alcohol molecules as well as water molecules. On mixing, the molecular interactions are weakened. Hence, their solution will show positive deviation from ideal behaviour. As a result, the solution will have higher vapour pressure and lower boiling point than that of water and alcohol.
