NEET 2026 (Phase 1) · ChemistryPrevious Year Question

A mixture of chloroform and acetone forms a solution with negative deviation from Raoult's law due to:

Answer: (B) Formation of hydrogen bonding between acetone and chloroform.. \textbf{Answer:} (B) Formation of hydrogen bonding between acetone and chloroform.

  1. A.Increase in escaping tendency of molecules of each component.
  2. B.Formation of hydrogen bonding between acetone and chloroform.✓
  3. C.Stronger intermolecular forces between chloroform molecules than those between chloroform and acetone molecules.
  4. D.Repulsive forces.

Correct Answer

(B) Formation of hydrogen bonding between acetone and chloroform.

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (B) Formation of hydrogen bonding between acetone and chloroform. \textbf{Solution:} Chloroform () and acetone () form a solution showing \textbf{negative deviation}. The acidic hydrogen of chloroform forms a new hydrogen bond with the carbonyl oxygen of acetone. This new A-B attraction is stronger than the A-A and B-B interactions, lowering the escaping tendency and hence the vapour pressure below the Raoult's law value → negative deviation.
