In case of positive deviation from Raoult's law, A-B interactions are weaker than those between A-A or B-B, i.e., in this case the intermolecular attractive forces between the solute-solvent molecules are weaker than those between the solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecules. This means that in such solutions, molecules of A (or B) will find it easier to escape than in pure state. This will increase the vapour pressure and result in positive deviation. Mixtures of ethanol and acetone is good example of this.

3.9 g of benzoic acid dissolved in 49 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point of 1.62 K. Calculate the van't Hoff factor and predict the nature of solute (associated or dissociated).
(Given: Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122 g mol-1, Kf for benzene = 4.9 K kg mol-1
Calculate the mass of compound (molar mass = 256 g mol-1) to be dissolved in 75 of benzene to lower its freezing point by 0.48 K (Kf= 5.12 kg mol-1 )
18 g of glucose, C6H12O6 (Molar Mass = 180 g mol-1) is dissolved in 1 kg of water in a saucepan. At what temperature will this solution boil?
(Kb for water = 0.52 K kg mol-1, boiling point of pure water = 373.15 K)
Determine the osmotic pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 2.5 x 10-2 g of K2SO4 in 2L of water at 250C, assuming that it is completely dissociated.
(R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1, Molar mass of K2SO4 = 174 g mol-1)
