Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry - Chapter Solutions. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 2, Question 10:
What role does the molecular interaction play in a solution of alcohol and water?
. With detailed answers and explanations for each chapter, students can strengthen their understanding and prepare confidently for exams. Ideal for CBSE and other board students, this resource will simplify your study experience.What role does the molecular interaction play in a solution of alcohol and water?
The lower members of alcohols are highly soluble in water but the solubility decreases with increase in the molecular weight. The solubility of lower alcohols in water is due to formation of hydrogen bonds(Hydrogen bonding) between alcohols & water molecules.

However, as the size of alcohol molecule increases, the alkyl groups becomes larger & prevents the formation of hydrogen bonds with water, & hence the solubility goes on decreasing with increase in the length of carbon chain.Also the interaction between the molecules of alcohol and water is weaker than alcohol−alcohol and water−water interactions. As a result, when alcohol and water are mixed, the intermolecular interactions become weaker and the molecules can easily escape. This increases the vapour pressure of the solution, which in turn lowers the boiling point of the resulting solution.
The reaction between A and B is first order with respect to A and zero order with respect to B. Fill in the blanks in the following table:
| Experiment |
A/ mol L - 1 |
B/ mol L - 1 |
Initial rate/mol L - 1 min - 1 |
| I | 0.1 | 0.1 |
2.0 × 10 - 2 |
| II | -- | 0.2 |
4.0 × 10 - 2 |
| III | 0.4 | 0.4 | -- |
| IV | -- | 0.2 |
2.0 × 10 - 2 |

Thanks sergeant
Thank you very much sir
Thanks for your help
Thanks for your help
Your answer is wrong. As molecular mass increase solubility of a gas increases.
Thanks
see ncert pg no. 45 last para for increased or decreased vapour pressure confusion.
Perfect ans
Thanks
Fukin wrong pleb Interactions get stronger leading to stronger bonds and less vapour and hence less vapour pressure causing the negative deviation from Raoults law
