Chapter 17, Problem 57E

The following plot shows the vapor pressure of varioussolutions of components A and B at some temperature.

Which of the following statements is false concerningsolutions of A and B?
a. The solutions exhibit negative deviations fromRaoult’s law.
b. $\Delta H_{\text{soln}}$ for the solutions should be exothermic.
c. The intermolecular forces are stronger in solutionthan in either pure A or pure B.
d. Pure liquid B is more volatile than pure liquid A.
e. The solution with ${\chi }_B=0.6$ will have a lower boilingpoint than either pure A or pure B.
