19. The vapor pressure curve for a binary solution containing two volatile liquids, A and B, is shown in the Figure below. The curve is in terms of the mole fraction of component A; and P A and P°B represent the vapor pressures of pure A and B, respectively. How would you classify the solution?
Ideal solution
The Solutions obeying Raoult's law at all compositions of solute in the solvent at every temperature
Ideal solutions are formed when two components of identical molecular structure , properties and same intermolecular forces are mixed
Non Ideal solutions
The real solutions that deviate from Raoult's law are non ideal solutions . They show negative or positive deviations from ideality .
For positive deviation :
In positive deviation , the boiling point of the solutions formed tend to be les than the actual value
Ex: Acetone - Benzene
For negative deviation :
For such solutions the partial pressures are less than the one obtained from Raoults law .In negative deviation from ideality there is always evolution of heat wherein in positive deviation there is absorption of heat during mixing . Negative deviation exhibit stronger intermolecular forces of attraction between the unlike molecules than the like .
Ex: Water - HCl
