NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law MCQ Question
In a solution that exhibits positive deviation from Raoult’s law, what is the expected change in vapor pressure compared to the ideal solution?
The vapor pressure is higher than predicted by Raoult's law.
The vapor pressure is lower than predicted by Raoult's law.
The vapor pressure remains the same as predicted by Raoult's law.
The vapor pressure cannot be determined using Raoult's law.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A solution showing positive deviation from Raoult's law has weaker solute-solvent interactions, leading to a higher vapor pressure than predicted.
