Question:

Vapour pressure of pure acetone and chloroform at 328 K are 741.8 mm Hg and 632.8 mm Hg respectively. Assuming that they form ideal solution over the entire range of composition, plot p_total  p_chloroform and p_acetoneas a function of x_acetone. The experimental data observed for different compositions of mixture is

100 X xacetone011.823.4  36.050.8 58.264.572.1
P_acetone /mm Hg054.9110.1202.4322.7405.9  454.1521.1
P_chloroform/mm Hg632.8 548.1   469.4359.7257.7193.6 161.2 120.7

Solution and Explanation

From the question, we have the following data

100 X xacetone011.823.4  36.050.8 58.264.572.1
P_acetone /mm Hg054.9110.1202.4322.7405.9  454.1521.1
P_chloroform/mm Hg632.8 548.1   469.4359.7257.7193.6 161.2 120.7
P_tota(mm Hg)632.8     603.0579.5562.1580.4599.5615.3641.8

It can be observed from the graph that the plot for the p_total of the solution curves downwards. Therefore, the solution shows negative deviation from the ideal behaviour.
