Negative deviations from Raoult's law ar...

Negative deviations from Raoult's law are exhibited by binary mixtures

A

in which the molecules tend to attract each other and hence their escape into the vapour phase is retarded.

B

in which the molecules tend to repel each other and hence their escape into the vapour phase is retarded.

C

in which the molecules tend to attract each other and hence their escape into the vapour phase is speeded up.

D

in which the molecules tend to repel each other and hence their escape into the vapour phase is speeded up.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
