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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the heat of the solution is small, the intermolecular forces between the two liquids are similar in strength. Thus, the interactions between the molecules of the two liquids are similar to those occurring in the pure liquids, leading to a relatively ideal behavior and a small or zero deviation from Raoult's law.
