A mixture of chloroform and acetone forms a solution with negative deviation from Raoult�s law. This is because chloroform molecule is able to form hydrogen bond with acetone molecule as shown.
This decreases the escaping tendency of molecules for each component and consequently the vapour pressure decreases resulting in negative deviation from Raoult�s law.
The solutions that show large negative deviation from Raoult�s law form maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
Types of Solutions:
The solutions can be classified into three types:
Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solventis in a Solid-state.
Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.
On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:
Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
