Give reasons for the following : Oxygen has less electron gain enthalpy with negative sign than sulphur.

Propanal and Propanone

Out of CH₃CH₂ – CO – CH₂ – CH₃ and CH₃CH₂ – CH₂ – CO – CH₃, which gives iodoform test?

What role does the molecular interaction play in a solution of alcohol and water?

How is the sign of Δ_mixH related to positive deviations from Raoult’s law?

Heptane and octane form an ideal solution. At 373 K, the vapour pressures of the two liquid components are 105.2 kPa and 46.8 kPa respectively. What will be the vapour pressure of a mixture of 26.0 g of heptane and 35 g of octane?

Suggest the most important type of intermolecular attractive interaction in the following pair.

acetonitrile (CH₃CN) and acetone (C₃H₆O)

Vapour pressure of pure acetone and chloroform at 328 K are 741.8 mm Hg and 632.8 mm Hg respectively. Assuming that they form ideal solution over the entire range of composition, plot `p_"total"`, `p_"chloroform"` and `p_"acetone"` as a function of `chi_"acetone"`. The experimental data observed for different compositions of mixtures is:

Plot this data also on the same graph paper. Indicate whether it has a positive  or negative deviation from the ideal solution.
