Solution 1
Ethanol and acetone show +ve deviation because both are non-polar compounds and after mixing, the force of attraction decreases.
Particle force of attraction > Unlike particle force of attraction
Solution 2
A mixture of ethanol and acetone shows positive deviation from Raoult's Law. Pure ethanol possesses hydrogen bonding. Introduction of acetone between the molecules of ethanol results in breaking of some of these hydrogen bonds. Due to weakening of interactions, the solution shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
