Vapour pressures 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 ptotal, pchloroform, and pacetone as a function of xacetone. The experimental data observed for different compositions of mixture is: 100 x xacetone 0 11.8 23.4 36.0 50.8 58.2 64.5 72.1 pacetone /mm Hg 0 54.9 110.1 202.4 322.7 405.9 454.1 521.1 pchloroform /mm Hg 632.8 548.1 469.4 359.7 257.7 193.6 161.2 120.7 Plot this data also on the same graph paper. Indicate whether it has positive deviation or negative deviation from the ideal solution.
