If the volume of solution is equal to sum of volumes of its all components then the solution_____________?

Correct answer: A. will be an ideal solution

  • A. will be an ideal solution
  • B. will be non-ideal solution
  • C. will show deviations from Raoults law
  • D. both b & c

Explanation

If the volume of a solution equals the sum of the component volumes, the volume change on mixing is zero, which is a property of an ideal solution. Students may choose non-ideal solution because all mixtures are assumed to interact, but ideal solutions show no volume change and obey Raoult's law.

About Evaporation, Boiling Point and Vapour Pressure

Evaporation is the escape of higher-energy molecules from a liquid surface, while vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by vapour in equilibrium with that liquid. The topic distinguishes evaporation from boiling and relates both to temperature, intermolecular forces, surface area, atmospheric pressure and the boiling point.
