NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

In a solution that exhibits positive deviation from Raoult’s law, what is the expected change in vapor pressure compared to the ideal solution?

A

The vapor pressure is higher than predicted by Raoult's law.

B

The vapor pressure is lower than predicted by Raoult's law.

C

The vapor pressure remains the same as predicted by Raoult's law.

D

The vapor pressure cannot be determined using Raoult's law.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

A solution showing positive deviation from Raoult's law has weaker solute-solvent interactions, leading to a higher vapor pressure than predicted.
