Why do ethanol and acetone show positive deviation?
APolarity of ethanol rises
BEthanol molecules ionise
CAcetone breaks ethanol H-bonds
DAcetone H-bonds to ethanol
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Acetone breaks ethanol H-bonds
Acetone molecules get between hydrogen-bonded ethanol molecules and break some of those bonds, weakening attractions.
