Those solutions in which there is no volume change upon mixing the components in the liquid state and which, when diluted do not undergo any heat change (i.e. heat of dilution is zero), are called ____________ solutions?

Correct answer: A. Ideal

  • A. Ideal
  • B. Real
  • C. Isotonic
  • D. None of these

Explanation

An ideal solution has zero enthalpy and volume changes on mixing, so dilution also produces no heat effect. Real solutions deviate from this behaviour because unlike-molecule interactions differ from like-molecule interactions.
