Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Benzene-chloroform

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Negative deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the intermolecular forces of attraction between the components (A-B) are stronger than the forces between the pure components (A-A and B-B). This leads to a decrease in total vapor pressure and a release of heat (exothermic…
