Q173

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.

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

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
For an ideal solution the heat of mixing or enthalpy change and volume change due to mixing is zero.
Since volume change 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
