The activity co-efficient of a solution, which accounts for the departure of liquid phase from ideal solution behaviour________________?

Correct answer: C. Is a function of the liquid phase composition

  • A. Measures the elevation in boiling point
  • B. Is not dependent on the temperature
  • C. Is a function of the liquid phase composition
  • D. Measures the depression in freezing point

Explanation

The activity coefficient measures how a liquid component departs from ideal-solution behaviour and generally varies with liquid composition, temperature, and pressure. Among the choices, its dependence on liquid composition is the valid statement.
