Which type of solution does Raoult's Law apply to most accurately?
Step 1: Understand what Raoult's Law is. It describes how the vapor pressure of a solvent in a solution is affected by the presence of a solute.
Step 2: Know that Raoult's Law is most accurate for ideal solutions.
Step 3: Define an ideal solution. An ideal solution is one where the interactions between different molecules (solute and solvent) are similar to the interactions in the pure substances.
Step 4: Recognize that in real solutions, differences in interactions can lead to deviations from Raoult's Law.
