NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A solution of ethanol and acetone shows a positive deviation from Raoult's Law.
Reason (R): The interactions between ethanol and acetone molecules are weaker than those in pure ethanol due to disruption of hydrogen bonds.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that in a mixture of ethanol and acetone, acetone disrupts hydrogen bonds in ethanol, leading to weaker interactions and positive deviation from Raoult's Law.
