Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the type of deviation from Raoult’s law

For an ideal solution, Ptotal=xCS2PCS20+xacetonePacetone0P_{\text{total}}=x_{CS_2}P^0_{CS_2}+x_{\text{acetone}}P^0_{\text{acetone}}Ptotal​=xCS2​​PCS2​0​+xacetone​Pacetone0​ so the total vapour pressure must lie between the vapour pressures of the two pure liquids.

Given: PCS20=512 mm Hg,Pacetone0=344 mm HgP^0_{CS_2}=512\ \text{mm Hg},\qquad P^0_{\text{acetone}}=344\ \text{mm Hg}PCS2​0​=512 mm Hg,Pacetone0​=344 mm Hg

But for the solution, Ptotal=600 mm HgP_{\text{total}}=600\ \text{mm Hg}Ptotal​=600 mm Hg

Since 600>512>344600>512>344600>512>344 it is greater than even the vapour pressure of pure CS2CS_2CS2​.

Hence the solution shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law.


  1. Interpretation of positive deviation

Positive deviation means:

  • unlike intermolecular attractions (CS2CS_2CS2​–acetone) are weaker than like attractions (CS2CS_2CS2​–CS2CS_2CS2​ and acetone–acetone),
  • molecules escape more easily into vapour phase,
  • mixing is generally endothermic (ΔHmix>0\Delta H_{mix}>0ΔHmix​>0),
  • volume of mixing generally shows expansion (ΔVmix>0\Delta V_{mix}>0ΔVmix​>0).

  1. Check each option

Option A

CS2CS_2CS2​ and acetone are less attracted to each other than to themselves.

This is exactly the condition for positive deviation.

So, A is true.


Option B

A mixture of 100 ml CS2CS_2CS2​ and 100 ml acetone has a volume <200<200<200 ml.

For positive deviation, intermolecular attraction between unlike molecules is weaker, so mixing tends to cause expansion, i.e. Vmix>0V_{mix}>0Vmix​>0 Therefore total volume should be greater than 200 ml, not less.

So, B is false.


Option C

Heat must be absorbed in order to produce the solution at 35∘C35^\circ C35∘C.

Positive deviation implies mixing is endothermic: ΔHmix>0\Delta H_{mix}>0ΔHmix​>0 So heat is absorbed.

Thus, C is true.


Option D

Raoult’s law is not obeyed by this system.

Since the solution shows positive deviation, it does not obey Raoult’s law.

So, D is true.


  1. Conclusion

The false statement is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
