Question

what are the reasons for the solution of volatile solute to deviate from ideal behavior?

Answer 1

The reason for the solution of volatile solute to deviate from ideal behavior is the nature of interaction at the molecular level.

- When the inter molecular forces of products are different than the inter molecular forces of reactants, then the solution will show deviations from ideal behaviour.

-There is positive deviation from the ideal behaviour when the inter molecular forces are weak for products.

- There is negative deviation from the ideal behaviour if the inter molecular forces are strong among products.
