Q372

If two pure liquid constituents are mixed in any proportion to give an ideal solution, there is no change in

A.
Volume
B.
Enthalpy
C.
Both A & B
Answer
D.
Neither A nor B

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
An ideal solution is that where the components behaves like pure components.
For an ideal solution the heat of mixing or enthalpy change and volume change due to mixing is zero.
Since, volume change of mixing
Where total molar volume of the solution at temperature pressure
molar volume of species when existed as pure species at same
From summability:
Where partial molar volume since for ideal solution
    Volume change of mixing
Similarly, enthalpy change of mixing or heat of mixing
