Question

What is meant by positive deviations from Raoult’s law ? Give an example. What is the sign of H for positive deviation ?
In case of positive deviation from Raoult’s law, the intermolecular attractive forces between the solutesolvent molecules are weaker than those between the solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecules.
Example: Mixture of ethanol and acetone.
Sign for H is positive
