A & B are two liquids mixed together. In solution A - B attractive forces are weaker than A-A & B-B attractive forces. Answer the following question.
Volume of the solution is greater than volume of the two liquids combined. True or False
A-B attractive forces are weaker than A-A and B-B attractive forces.
How these forces effect the volume of the solution?
Simple!! strong forces hold the molecules closer together than weaker forces.So in this case as stronger forces are replaced by weaker forces, the volume of the solution is greater than the volume of the two liquids combined.
