Predict the deviation from Raoult's law when two liquids are mixed and the heat of the solution is large and the reaction exothermic.
A) positive deviation
B) relatively ideal (small or zero deviation)
C) negative deviation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the heat of the solution is large and the reaction is exothermic, the potential energy of the mixture is lower than that of the individual components. This means that the molecules prefer to be close together and interact with each other, leading to a negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
