A solution of CF₃H in H₂CO is most likely to A)be ideal. B)not be ideal,but the deviations cannot be predicted. C)show negative deviations from Raoult's law. D)obey Raoult's law. E)show positive deviations from Raoult's law.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The solution is likely to show negative deviations from Raoult's law because both components (CF₃H and H₂CO) are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. When mixed, the intermolecular forces between the molecules are stronger than those in the pure components, leading to a decrease in vapor pressure compared to what Raoult's law predicts for an ideal solution.
