Correct answer: A

  1. Identify the behavior of each solution

(A) Solution of chloroform and acetone

Chloroform and acetone show strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between CHCl3and(CH3)2CO\text{CHCl}_3 \quad \text{and} \quad (CH_3)_2COCHCl3​and(CH3​)2​CO This causes negative deviation from Raoult’s law.

Negative deviation leads to a maximum boiling azeotrope.

So, (A)→(III)(A) \to (III)(A)→(III)


(B) Solution of ethanol and water

Ethanol and water form a solution that shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law because mixing disrupts the strong hydrogen-bonding network present in pure water and pure ethanol.

Positive deviation leads to a minimum boiling azeotrope.

So, (B)→(I)(B) \to (I)(B)→(I)


(C) Solution of benzene and toluene

Benzene and toluene are very similar in molecular size and intermolecular forces, so they form an ideal solution.

For an ideal solution, ΔVmix=0\Delta V_{\text{mix}} = 0ΔVmix​=0

So, (C)→(IV)(C) \to (IV)(C)→(IV)


(D) Solution of acetic acid in benzene

Acetic acid in benzene undergoes association (dimerization) due to hydrogen bonding.

So, (D)→(II)(D) \to (II)(D)→(II)


  1. Final matching

Thus the correct match is:

(A)−(III),(B)−(I),(C)−(IV),(D)−(II)(A)-(III),\quad (B)-(I),\quad (C)-(IV),\quad (D)-(II)(A)−(III),(B)−(I),(C)−(IV),(D)−(II)
  1. Compare with options

This corresponds to Option A.

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer = A

Our derived answer = A

Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
