Assertion :In an ideal solution, ΔmixH is zero. Reason: In an ideal solution, A-B interactions are lower than A-A and B-B interactions.
On the basis of Raoult’s Law, liquid-liquid solutions can be of two types.
They are: Either Ideal Solutions or Non-ideal Solutions.
A – A intermolecular forces of attraction
B – B intermolecular forces of attraction
A – B intermolecular forces of attraction
The solution is said to be an ideal solution, only when the intermolecular forces of attraction between A – A, B – B and A – B are nearly equal.
The enthalpy of mixing of two components should be zero, that is, ΔmixH=0.
This signifies that no heat is released or absorbed during mixing of two pure components to form an ideal solution.
