Multiple Choice

A solution composed of 5 moles of acetone (CH₃COCH₃,P°_A = 324 mmHg) and 5 moles of chloroform (CHCl₃,P° = 274 mmHg) has a vapor pressure of 236 mmHg.Which one of the following statements is completely true about this solution?

A) The solution shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law and thus possesses a maximum boiling azeotrope.
B) The solution process is exothermic because the forces between unlike molecules are weaker than those between like molecules.
C) The solution shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law.
D) The solution possesses a minimum boiling azeotrope because it shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law.
E) The solution obeys Raoult's Law.
